RARE GRAPE VARIETAL RESOURCE

Rondo is a dark-skinned grape variety, a hybrid grape or inter-specific crossing created in 1964. 

This very early maturing variety possesses high resistance against winter frost and downy mildew. It produces a ruby-red wine which is also used for blending. Rondo is cultivated in many locations in northern Europe where dark-skinned Vitis vinifera varieties are difficult to ripen properly, as it tends to yield good colour and aroma even in those locations.
