Vitis 'Cayuga'

Vitis 'Cayuga', commonly known as 'Cayuga' grape, is a vigorous hybrid grape variety prized for its versatility and good adaptation to cool climates. Its strong climbing habit, with robust tendrils, effectively covers trellises, pergolas, and fences in full sun, while forming a dense vegetative screen with its deep green deciduous foliage. It produces medium to large clusters of greenish-white to golden-yellow grapes when ripe, with relatively thick skin and juicy flesh, offering a balanced flavor between sweetness and acidity, with fruity notes reminiscent of apple and light tropical fruits. Primarily used for winemaking, it allows for the production of dry, semi-dry, or sparkling white wines. Vitis 'Cayuga' is distinguished by its consistent productivity, vigor, and good tolerance to northern conditions.
