Brianna Grape Bareroot
Species:Ā Vitis riparia x Vitis labrusca
History: Brianna was bred by renowned grape breeder Elmer Swenson as a cross between Riverbank grape (V.Ā riparia) and Fox grapeĀ (V. labrusca) as part of his effort to create high-quality grapes that were cold hardy enough to be grown in the cooler parts of North America. Brianna was first bred in 1983 on Swenson's farm in Wisconsin and released in 2001. It was named by Ed Swanson who was planning on naming it Brian due to its vigour but chose Brianna instead, believing the feminine name was more fitting for white wine.
Why We Grow It: Brianna is a seeded green grape with an excellent complex fruity flavourĀ that has hints ofĀ grapefruit and pineapple. The medium-large green fruit is suitable for fresh eating or making wine or juice. This variety boasts good disease resistance, vigorous growth, and begins producing fruit at a young age.
