Hardy to around -22F. Foch is an older french hybrid that has proven itself many times over to be a productive vine in moderate climates capable of producing a wide range of popular wines. Rather bushy in growth, it is adaptable to several training styles. Outstanding wines have been produced from Burgundian reds to rose to Port wine. At its best Foch has some nice tannin and dark fruit aromas. When not fully ripe, it can be slightly herbaceous. Ripens early to mid season. Very early bud break. Widely planted from Nebraska to the coast of Maine. Selected by Kuhlman.
