RARE GRAPE VARIETAL RESOURCE

A Carter x Black Hamburg hybrid, was bred in 1851 by Edward Staniford Rogers of Salem, MA. Agawam is purplish-red grape that makes a white wine. Agawam is a vigorous variety that is hardy with thick canes. It is winter hardy and productive, but needs a careful spray program to combat fungus diseases. Agawam prefers a somewhat heavy soil, doing better on clay than on sand or gravel. Agawam is harvested mid-season to late-mid season, soon after Concord. Of the Rogers hybrids, it is the only completely self-fertile variety, but its production is enhanced when placed in a mixed variety vineyard. The berry is large to very large. The attractive cluster is medium-large to large and somewhat loose to moderately compact. The grape has a thick tough skin, but it is not a slip skin variety. The sugar levels are good, with acid levels like Concord. It is a dual-purpose grape that is good for the table and for wine production. It makes a quality white wine that is aromatic and fruity with a Muscat flavor and herbal finish, that blends well with other white wines. As a table grape, it is rich, sweet, with a soft aromatic Muscat quality.((https://www.hudsonvalleyheritagewines.com/heritage-vines)
