Concord as the signature native red (Vitis labrusca, planted since the 19th century): "foxy" and fruity with intense fresh grape, blackberry and jam, lively acidity — the backbone of the Concord Grape Belt's juices and sweet wines. Fragrant white Niagara, hybrids Vidal, Riesling and Chardonnay emerging.
