Dark, Hardy and Mysterious, the Lenoir Grape Has a Disease-Resistant Superpower
Briefly

"It's exciting for us to land on grapes we can call our own," says Sean Wilborn, owner and winemaker of Cloudland Vineyards, highlighting the importance of Lenoir in Southeast wine production.
T.V. Munson's 1909 work concluded Lenoir is a hybrid of Vitis vinifera and Vitis aestivalis, demonstrating its deep historical roots in American viticulture.
Lenoir's resilience against environmental threats means it can thrive in the Southeast, making it a critical grape for regional wine production across the humid climate.
The potential of Lenoir attracts attention; its link to the historical struggle with phylloxera and success in various climates exemplifies its significant agricultural impact.
