Winchell

The white grape variety (also known as Green Mountain) is a presumably spontaneous interspecific cross between varieties of the species Vitis labrusca x Vitis vinifera. The hybrid was selected in 1850 by James Milton Clough in Stamford, Vermont. The early-maturing, frost-hardy vine is used in Canada, as well as in northern US states such as Iowa and Vermont, primarily as table grape, and more rarely as a wine grape. It was later used for new varieties at the Cornell University Vine Breeding Institute in Geneva, New York. These included Ontario, Ripley and Veeport.
