Lifestyle / Wine Grapes / Prairie Star: Also known by the synonym name ES 3-24-7. Is a cross between ES 2-7-13 and ES 2-8-1. Developed by Elmer Swenson in 1980 and released around 1994. Harsh-cold (to -40 deg. F. ie. -38 C) tolerant, this variety is quite disease resistant other than a moderate susceptibility to easily controllable Black Rot and Anthracnose. Usually ripens mid-season. Reported as capable of making a neutral varietal wine with strong floral nose in some years. It is currently used to add body and finish to such other white wines as Louise Swenson. The vine is notable as easily trained to the vertical shoot positioning system.
