Details and technical informations about Gray Ghost Winery's Adieu Late Harvest Vidal.
Discover the grape variety: Iona
It is said to come from a seedling of diana - the latter is also a seedling of catawba - and propagated in 1860 by Dr. C.W. Grant, the introduction in the United States would date from 1863. Other ampelographers give it as coming directly from a seedling of catawba. The only certainty is that it is an interspecific cross with Vitis Labrusca as a parent. It should be noted that it is the parent of the diamond and the golden muscat. Iona can be found in the United States, Canada, New Zealand, etc. In France it is totally unknown. This variety can only be of interest to amateur gardeners, on the one hand to enlarge their collections and on the other hand, because it produces an excellent juice.

The wine region of Virginia
Virginia is a state on the eastern seaboard of the United States, located immediately South of Maryland and North of the Carolinas. The state covers 42,750 square miles (110,750 km2) of mountains, valleys and the Atlantic coastal Complex that forms its eastern border. From the Cumberland and Blue Ridge Mountains in the west to the coastal creeks and estuaries in the east, Virginia's topography and geology are varied, to say the least. The landscape around the Chesapeake Bay - a vast coastal inlet that separates the main state from its Eastern Shore - could hardly be more different from that below Mt Rogers (1,750m), 480km to the west.
The word of the wine: Physiological maturity
The stage of ripeness of the grape berry when it has reached an optimal weight and when the sugar and acidity levels have stabilized.
