Authors: Gail R. Nonnecke (Iowa State University) , James Schrader (Iowa State University)

Abstract

Selection of grape cultivars adapted to Iowa’s climate and soil is essential for successful vineyard and wine production. New cultivars and advanced selections with sufficient winter hardiness and quality and quantity of grapes are critical for sustained profitability. Research to evaluate new cultivars and selections provides useful information to Iowa growers for their sustainable production of winegrapes.
