Clinton (grape)

Its phylloxera resistance led to its being planted in small amounts in the eastern Alps, although it imparts a pronounced foxiness and dark red colour to wine made from its juice.

[1] The first seedling was found in New York State by Hugh White in 1835.

[2] After phylloxera arrived in Europe, it was planted in northern Italy, Switzerland[2] and Austria.

It is a vigorous and early-maturing variety with small, black berries.
