I've grown it for 6 or 7 years. I find it has much less forward fruit than Frontenac, more tannins, and more complexity. Commercially, I think blending in...

Last Notice! I will match up at least one person early so that they can ship their wines from the frozen north before it gets too frozen. IT'S THAT TIME AGAIN!...
My internet provider sent the following to me---IT WORKS Question: I need to do some calculations for converting standard measurements to metric. What site do...
Per, GDD averages about 2300-2400. As for Landot Noir-not yet-will try some next year, along with Landal. I expect that it will be "half hardy", fine in warm...
Thanks, Jim. With an all volunteer contributor staff, it is a struggle - not for quality, but for quantity. That's why I wrote 2 of the articles this issue. I...
supposedly here we have abut 2200 GDD, but I'm voundring what we really have ! particularly as you are getting so much better result on many of the hardier...

I've had more luck with L.244 than with L.4511 as far as winter hardiness. L.244 has far out produced and has come through winters with far more fruitful...
That's a little different from my experience. I always preferred L. 244 to L. 4511 (although both are good), but mostly because it has always been distinctly...
Interesting what Gerry and Jim say about Landal. I¹ve never grown it, but have made wine from Southern MO/Northern AR grown grapes. I always found it ...
on L244 what size berries and cluster are you getting and what sugar, howmuch on a plant ? How cold hardy would you rate L244. have you seen any diseases if so...

Hi everyone, Firstly, a heartfelt thank you to the owner of this group for allowing me to use your group in an unusual way. I need to get in touch with one of...
George - Unfortunately, no wine from Landal, and no access to that vineyard, which is now pretty much in disarray anyway. I haven't been growing any of the...
Per - L. 244 was moderately productive for me, about 10 - 12# per plant of medium sized clusters and berries. It was a very steady, regular producer season...

I think I should mention an observation that was passed on to me by Peter Hemstad, the grape breeder at the U of MN. It is Peter's observation the the vines at...
I just posted a couple of photos of L. 244 taken at harvest time this year. It's a pretty vine in the fall at my vineyard. Reached 24.5 Brix with a pH of...
L. 244 is early midseason, which makes it a little earlier than L. 4511 and several weeks earlier than Chambourcin. Chambourcin ripens here near the end of...
In Arkansas, my Landot 4511 ripens during the 2 and 3rd week of August when it is hot. It is the first grape I pick followed by my Chardonel and Vignoles. My...
Thanks, it restored my grape-fate, It started to sound like this h/b all matured on the same day/time. And that would have bad consequences for me here in NH,...

Good luck finding something that fits your criteria. In Tennessee, Chambourcin is the last variety I pick, after Cab Sauv and Petit Verdot. This year I...
