Noah

Life Style / Wine Grapes / Noah: 19th century (dating from 1869) V.riperia/labrusca white-wine producing grape with somewhat 'foxy' flavor. Parents are reported as Hartford (a cross between Isabella and an unnamed labrusca) and the interesting 19th century Taylor variety. Has several synonym names including Belo Otelo, Charvat and Tatar Rizling. Having moderate vigor and only moderate cold-hardiness the variety is also susceptible to Mildew diseases. Has tendency to late-bud. At last report small acreages are still planted on the eastern seaboard of the U.S. (eg. Egg Harbor, N.J), south-central states (eg. Missouri), and in cooler areas of Croatia, Romania and France. Ripening at the same time as Concord the small, light-green, tinged with yellow, berries (which physically resemble the Elvira berry) do not ship or keep well. The vine can also be used as a rootstock.
