Monastery Muscat
NEW FOR 2012! FIRST TIME ANYWHERE!
Monastery Muscat (Alden x NY 65.483.2) is a white seedless muscat for table and wine use. It was bred by Bro. Kenneth Caudill, a Brother at the Brigittine Monastery Of Our Lady of Consolation, The Order Of The Most Holy Savior in Amity, Oregon. http://www.brigittine.org/
Information on the variety’s performance is limited. By it’s parentage I wouldn’t expect it to be hardier than Alden, about -10 to -15 F. Disease resistance outside the Northwest is also untried. Brother Caudill does make an excellent sweet white muscat wine from it and the Brothers love the fruit.
Supplies are limited and all proceeds go to the Monastery
