Québec (wine)
Quebec wine is wine made in the province of Quebec. The grape varieties grown in Quebec, both white and red, all have common qualities needed by the harshness of the winter season, including resistance to winter temperatures, resistance to spring freezes and being ripeness (wine), early ripening. Some 40 varieties are grown in Quebec, with the most commonly planted being Marechal Foch (grape), Maréchal Foch, Frontenac (grape), Frontenac, De Chaunac, Vidal blanc, Vidal and Seyval blanc. Quebec wine makers have developed a large array of products including dry (wine), dry, semi-dry and fortified (wine), fortified wines (including Vin doux naturel styles). Additionally the region produces ice wines, late harvest wines, sparkling wines and fruit wines. Quebec counts six regions where vines are cultivated. They are the Eastern Townships, Montérégie, Québec, Laurentides (region), Basses Laurentides, Lanaudière, and Centre-du-Québec. History When French explorer Jacques Cartier ...

Québec
Quebec is Canada's largest province by area. Located in Central Canada, the province shares borders with the provinces of Ontario to the west, Newfoundland and Labrador to the northeast, New Brunswick to the southeast and a coastal border with the territory of Nunavut. In the south, it shares a border with the United States. Between 1534 and 1763, what is now Quebec was the French colony of ''Canada'' and was the most developed colony in New France. Following the Seven Years' War, ''Canada'' became a British colony, first as the Province of Quebec (1763–1791), then Lower Canada (1791–1841), and lastly part of the Province of Canada (1841–1867) as a result of the Lower Canada Rebellion. It was confederated with Ontario, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick in 1867. Until the early 1960s, the Catholic Church played a large role in the social and cultural institutions in Quebec. However, the Quiet Revolution of the 1960s to 1980s increased the role of the Government of Q ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Muscat (grape And Wine)
The Muscat family of grapes includes over 200 grape varieties belonging to the ''Vitis vinifera'' species that have been used in wine production and as raisin and Table grape, table grapes around the globe for many centuries. Their Wine color, colors range from white (such as Muscat Ottonel), to yellow (Moscato Giallo), to pink (Moscato rosa del Trentino, Moscato Rosa del Trentino) to near black (Black Muscat, Muscat Hamburg). Muscat grapes and wines almost always have a pronounced floral Aroma of wine, aroma. The breadth and number of varieties of Muscat suggest that it is perhaps the oldest domesticated grape variety, and there are theories that most families within the ''Vitis vinifera'' grape variety are descended from the Muscat variety.J. Robinson: ''Vines Grapes & Wines'', p. 183. Mitchell Beazley 1986 . Among the most notable members of the Muscat family are Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains, which is the primary grape variety used in the production of the Italian wine, Ital ...

Chancellor (grape)
Chancellor is a hybrid wine red grape variety produced by French viticulturist Albert Seibel c. 1860. It is also known as Seibel 7053 and is a cross of Seibel 5163 and Seibel 880. The grape produces a fruity red wine Wine is an alcoholic drink made from Fermentation in winemaking, fermented fruit.

Chambourcin
Chambourcin () is a variety of grapevine belonging to the ''Vitis'' genus in the flowering plant family Vitaceae. It is a French- American interspecific hybrid grape variety used for making wine. Its parentage is uncertain, but genetic studies show it likely includes several North American Vitis species in its background including: ''V. berlandieri'' Planch., ''V. labrusca'' L., ''V. lincecumii'' Buckley, ''V. riparia'' Michx., ''V. rupestris'' Scheele, and ''V. vinifera''. The hybrid was produced by Joannes Seyve who often used Seibel hybrids produced in the 1860s. The grape has only been available since 1963; it has a good resistance to fungal disease, and is one of the parents of the new disease resistant variety, Regent, which is increasing in popularity among German grape growers. Chambourcin is considered a very productive grape with crop yields reported ranging from 11.1 tons per hectare to 17.3 tons per hectare in a study performed by Ohio State University. Chamb ...

Severny (grape)
Severny is the name of a Russian red-grape variety. Severny results from the interspecific crossing between Seianetze Malengra and ''Vitis amurensis''. The hybrid has been obtained in the Institute for wineyard researches in Rostov-on-Don in Russia. The hybrid was crossed in 1936 by the breeder Ya. I. Potapenko and E. Zakharova in Rostov. The variety has been imported to Finger Lakes AVA, just south of Lake Ontario, in the United States. Because of the genes present in ''Vitis amurensis'', the grape is very resistant to frost. Further hybridizations have involved the Severny variety, as with the Saperavi Severnyi (with Georgian variety Saperavi) or Cabernet Severny obtentions. It is an important component for the discovery of new grape varieties that can be grown under cold climates. Synonyms Synonyms: Severnii, Severnyi References Further reading * Pierre Galet Pierre Galet (28 January 1921 – 30 December 2019) was a French ampelographer and author who was an influential ...

Cabernet Sauvignon
Cabernet Sauvignon () is one of the world's most widely recognized red wine grape varieties. It is grown in nearly every major wine producing country among a diverse spectrum of climates from Australia and British Columbia, Canada to Lebanon's Beqaa Valley. This grape variety appeared in France in the 17th century as a result of natural crossbreeding. Its popularity is often attributed to its ease of cultivation—the grapes have thick skins and the vines are hardy and naturally low yielding, budding late to avoid frost and resistant to viticulture hazards. The classic profile of Cabernet Sauvignon tends to be full-bodied wines with high tannins and noticeable acidity that contributes to the wine's aging potential. In cool areas, it has flavors of blackcurrant and green pepper; in warmer places, it may taste like black cherry and olive; in very hot climates, it can have a jammy flavor.

Cabernet Franc
Cabernet Franc is one of the major black grape varieties worldwide. It is principally grown for blending with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot in the Bordeaux (wine), Bordeaux style, but can also be vinified alone, as in the Loire (wine), Loire's Chinon wine, Chinon. In addition to being used in blends and produced as a varietal in Canada (wine), Canada, Lake Erie AVA, Lake Erie AVA in Pennsylvania, and across the United States (wine), United States and Argentina, it is sometimes made into ice wine in those regions. Cabernet Franc is lighter than Cabernet Sauvignon, making a bright pale red wine that contributes finesse and lends a Black pepper, peppery perfume to blends with more robust grapes. Depending on the growing region and style of wine, additional Aromas (wine), aromas can include tobacco, raspberry, bell pepper, Blackcurrant, cassis, and Viola (plant), violets. Records of Cabernet Franc in Bordeaux go back to the end of the 18th century, although it was planted in Loire ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Baco Noir
Baco noir (pronounced BA-koh NWAHR) is a hybrid red wine grape variety produced by Francois Baco from a cross of ''Vitis vinifera var.'' Folle blanche, a French wine grape, and an unknown variety of ''Vitis riparia'' indigenous to North America. Regions In 1951 the variety was brought to the cooler viticulture regions of North America, such as British Columbia, Ontario, Nova Scotia, New York, Michigan, Mississippi, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Oregon. In 1955 the variety was brought back to Canada, where the "George" clonal variety is commonly used. Baco noir was the target of a vine-pull program in Canada in the early 1980s, which means that there are few older plots of this variety left in Canada. Some of the oldest Baco Noir vineyards in Ontario were shovel-planted by Henry of Pelham Winery’s co-founders, Paul, Matt, and Daniel Speck, in 1984 in the Short Hills Bench of the Niagara Peninsula. As pioneers of Ontario’s Baco Noir, the Speck Brothers have been instrumenta ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
