Norton (grape)
The Norton grape is a variety of grape native to North America, specifically the regions of the eastern and central United States. It is also known as Cynthiana. The Norton grape is renowned for its resilience and resistance to diseases that commonly affect other grape varieties. It is primarily used in the production of dry, red wines.
History
The Norton grape was first cultivated in the early 19th century in Virginia by Dr. Daniel Norton. The grape variety quickly gained popularity due to its robust nature and the quality of wine it produced. Despite the advent of Prohibition in the United States, which led to a significant decline in the cultivation of many grape varieties, the Norton grape survived and continues to be grown today.
Characteristics
The Norton grape is a Vitis aestivalis variety, which is a species of grapevine native to North America. It is a hardy grape that can withstand harsh weather conditions and is resistant to many diseases that affect other grape varieties. The Norton grape produces small, dark berries that yield a deep, full-bodied red wine with a distinct flavor profile.
Cultivation
The Norton grape is primarily grown in the states of Virginia, Missouri, and Arkansas, where it is also known as the Cynthiana grape. The grape thrives in well-drained, loamy soil and requires a long growing season to fully mature. The Norton grape is a self-pollinating variety, which means it does not require another grape variety to produce fruit.
Wine Production
The Norton grape is used to produce a variety of wines, including dry red wines, rosé wines, and even sparkling wines. The wines produced from the Norton grape are known for their deep ruby color and complex flavor profile, which includes notes of red fruit, spice, and earth.
