Structured, fruity reds with a deep ruby robe, melted tannins and high acidity. Aromas of cherry, plum, blackberry, black pepper, spices and herbal notes. Dense palate, tense finish. An extremely cold-hardy interspecific variety (to -38 °C on the vine), it is the signature of American northern viticulture (Minnesota, Vermont, Wisconsin, New York, Iowa) and Canada (Quebec, Ontario). Hybrid created in 2006 by the University of Minnesota (descendant of Pinot Noir).
Australia is an extremely important wine producing country, both in terms of quality and the scale of its wine economy. Wine Australia's 2018 annual report describes it as the sixth largest wine producer in the world. That year's production was 1. 29 million litres (341 million US gallons), split 52:48 between red and white.
