Lively, taut whites with a slender palate and fresh acidity, with aromas of citrus (lemon, grapefruit), green apple, white flowers, pear and discreet herbal notes. Refreshing finish; best drunk young. A cold- and disease-resistant interspecific variety, it produces whites and sparkling wines in the UK (Kent, Sussex), Canada (Quebec, Ontario) and the northeastern US. French hybrid created by Bertille Seyve (Seyve-Villard 5-276).
Wine state of the south-central US, humid continental climate, viticulture revived since the 1990s after Prohibition. Norton (Cynthiana) signature native red: structured and fruity with signature notes of black cherry, blackberry, plum, earth, leather and spice hint, firm tannins — the local pride. Taut Vidal Blanc, ample Chardonel, aromatic Traminette (lychee). Peppery Cabernet Franc, fruity Chambourcin.
