Marechal Foch RARE GRAPE red

 

By 1911, this fairly early ripening grape originated, along with Leon Millot, in Alsace, France. It is very winter hardy and has excellent fugus disease resistance. The vines have medium vigor and are moderately productive. Foch has small to moderate sized clusters that are compact. The must is high in sugar and acids that makes a light to medium bodied dark ruby to purple colored wine with blackberry and black raspberry nose and taste. These grapes can also be made into appealing nouveau style wines.((https://www.hudsonvalleyheritagewines.com/heritage-vines)
