Description
This is an image of my original oil on 11 x 14 canvas black board.
The Norton Grape is the oldest Native grape in America.
Norton, a grape cultivar believed to be largely derived from Vitis aestivalis, is grown in the Midwestern United States, Mid-Atlantic States, northeastern Georgia and, most recently, in California. Norton was first cultivated in Richmond, Virginia and is the official grape of the State of Missouri[1] and is considered the cornerstone of the Missouri wine industry.[2] Strong evidence indicates that Dr. Daniel Norton first purveyed the Norton cultivar during the early 19th century from his vineyards in Virginia, USA. Further evidence has been reported that Dr. Norton developed the cultivar from seeds from a now extinct variety with unconfirmed parentage, The American "native son" of wine grape varieties, Norton is mostly absent the "foxy" aroma and taste present in many indigenous North American grapes, but which consumers more familiar with the flavor of vinifera varieties find somewhat alien. Botanically, Norton is Vitis aestivalis, the "summer grape", also known as Cynthiana1, Red River, and Virginia Seedling; the grape may well have originated near the Virginia site where the variety was discovered and cultivated, c. 1823-28.
