Vitis labrusca

[VEE-tihs luh-BRUHS-kuh] One of the main North American vine species, Vitis labrusca is found primarily in Canada and the northeastern United States, although some grapes of this species are grown in South America. The concord variety is the best known, followed by the catawba and the Delaware. Grapes from this species have a pronounced musky, grapey, foxy quality that's often criticized by vitis vinifera aficionados.
