The red grape variety (also Landot 4511) is an interspecific new variety between Landot 244 (Landal Noir) x SV 12-375 (Villard Blanc). It contains genes from Vitis aestivalis, Vitis berlandieri, Vitis cinerea, Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rupestris and Vitis vinifera. The hybrid was crossed in France by the eponymous grower Pierre Landot (1900-1942). It was a crossing partner in the new Frontenac variety. The early to medium-ripening vine is resistant to frost and pierce disease, but sensitive to drought and tends to coulure. It produces fruity, mild red wines with a foxy. There are small populations in France (1 ha), Canada and in the US states of Illinois, Iowa, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island (3 ha). In 2016, a total of four hectares of vineyards were designated (Kym Anderson).

There is a vast number of sources on the web where one can acquire knowledge about wine. But none has the scope, timeliness and accuracy of the information in the encyclopaedia at wein.plus. I use it regularly and rely on it.
