Agawam

The red grape variety is an interspecific new breeding between Carter (Isabella seedling) x Black Hamburg (Schiava Grossa). Synonyms are Agavam, Rogers 15 and Rogers Hybrid 15. It contains genes from Vitis labrusca and Vitis vinifera. The hybrid was crossed in 1861 by the breeder E. S. Rogers in the USA in Salem Massachusetts. It was named after an Indian place. The loose-grained vine produces rosé and light red wines with a pronounced foxtone. It is also used as table grape. No stocks were reported in 2016 (Kym Anderson statistics).
