Clarion
The newest white wine variety from the U. of Minnesota (previously tested as MN 1220). Hardy to around -20F. Mid season bud break. Upright to arching in growth habit, this selection can be grown on hi wire trellis or vertical shoot positioning. Nice open growth habit, with medium sized, loose clusters. Ripens mid season. Test wines have been popular for some time producing aromas of pome fruit and tropical fruit. Acidity is moderate. We look forward to seeing how this variety does as it is planted more widely in the coming years. Selected by U. of Minnesota. $1 royalty per vine will be added. SOLD OUT FOR 2025. PLEASE CALL OR EMAIL TO BE PLACED ON A WAITING LIST.
