Varietal Definition
Landot:
French-american hybrid grape used for making fruity red wine of mild intensity with usual grapey labrusca nuance found in its parent grapes. Mostly produced in the Eastern U.S.
Landot Noir:
Its late bud break and early maturity make it a great choice for short season sites. Disease resistance is moderate with fair resistance to downy mildew. Wines from the Hudson Valley in NY and from NH have received outstanding ratings in various wine competitions. Nice ability to age.
