Comments:
(by County)
  • CALVERT: Performs well and makes a very good 'Chardonnay' type wine
  • CARROLL: Does well but only if grafted
  • CARROLL: Easy, wild stuff on 3309
Growing  
Recommendations: 		Recommended for hot sites on the Maryland Shore as a replacement for Seyval. Highly poroductive and cold hardy.
Winery  
Considerations: 		When well made, very similar to Chardonnay. Can be more "fruity" than Chardonnay.
