Abstract
A new cultivar of grape plant named, ‘Chenibec’, that is characterized by its open and even plant habit, its fruit that is large in size and golden in color at maturity, its juicy berries with a crisp, fruity, wine-like taste, its large, shouldered, medium density fruit clusters that are full of berries, its vigorous growth rate and high level of fruit productivity, and its grapes that are suitable for secondary fermentation to produce sparkling and champagne style wine.
Description
Botanical classification: Vitis hybrid.
Cultivar designation: ‘Chenibec’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Vitis hybrid named ‘Chenibec’ and will be hereafter referred to by its cultivar name ‘Chenibec’. ‘Chenibec’ represents a new cultivar of grape grown for fruit and wine production.
The new cultivar was derived from a controlled breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Portneuf, Québec, Canada. The objective of the breeding program is to develop new cold hardy grape varieties with good winemaking characteristics.
‘Chenibec’ resulted from a cross made in 1990 between the Vitis hybrid cultivar Elmer Swenson ‘E.S. 2-3-17’ (not patented) as the female parent and the Vitis vinifera cultivar ‘Chenin blanc’ (not patented) as the male parent. The Inventor selected ‘Chenibec’, in 1998 as a single unique plant from amongst the resulting seedlings.
Asexual propagation of the new cultivar was first accomplished by the Inventor by hardwood stem cuttings in 2000 in Saint-Ubalde, Québec, Canada. Asexual propagation by hardwood stem cuttings has determined that the characteristics of the new cultivar are stable and are reproduced true to type in successive generations.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and represent the characteristics of the new cultivar. These attributes in combination distinguish ‘Chenibec’ as a new and unique cultivar of grape.
-
- 1. ‘Chenibec’ exhibits an open and even plant habit.
- 2. ‘Chenibec’ exhibit fruit that is large in size and golden in color at maturity.
- 3. ‘Chenibec’ exhibits juicy berries with a crisp, fruity, wine-like taste.
- 4. ‘Chenibec’ exhibits large, shouldered, medium density fruit clusters that are full of berries.
- 5. ‘Chenibec’ exhibits a vigorous growth rate and a high level of fruit productivity.
- 6. ‘Chenibec’ exhibits grapes suitable for secondary fermentation to produce sparkling and champagne style wine.
The female parent of ‘Chenibec’, ‘E.S. 2-3-17’ differs from ‘Chenibec’ in having a less vigorous growth habit, in having smaller, lighter fruit clusters, in having berries that are smaller in size, and in having differently shaped leaves. The male parent of ‘Chenibec’, ‘Chenin blanc’ differs from ‘Chenibec’ in being less winter hardy, in being more susceptible to disease, and in having berries that are smaller in size and more acidic in taste. ‘Chenibec’ can be most closely compared to the Vitis cultivars ‘Adalmiina’ (not patented) and ‘Louise Swenson’ (not patented). ‘Adalmiina’ is similar to ‘Chenibec’ in being suitable for the production of sparkling wine and in having grapes that are golden in color at maturity. ‘Adalmiina’ differs from ‘Chenibec’ in having less dense fruit clusters that are cylindrical in shape, in having berries that are smaller in size, in having ovate shaped leaves with shallow lobes, and in being suitable for the production of French Muscadet style wine. ‘Louise Swenson’ is similar to ‘Chenibec’ in being suitable for the production of sparkling wine. ‘Louise Swenson’ differs from ‘Chenibec’ in having smaller fruit clusters that do not have a shoulder, in having less dense fruit clusters, and in being suitable for the production of white burgundy style wine.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance and distinct characteristics of the new grape cultivar. The photographs were taken of eight year-old plants of the new cultivar as grown outdoors in a field in Saint-Ubalde, Québec, Canada.
The photograph in FIG. 1 provides a side view of the plant habit of ‘Chenibec’ with fruit clusters.
The photograph in FIG. 2 provides a close-up view of the foliage of ‘Chenibec’.
The photograph in FIG. 3 provides a close-up view of the immature fruit of ‘Chenibec’.
The photograph in FIG. 4 provides a close-up view of the ripening fruit of ‘Chenibec’.
The colors in the photographs are as close as possible with digital photography techniques available, the color values cited in the detailed botanical description accurately describe the colors of the new cultivar of grape.
The following is a detailed description of plants seven years in age as grown outdoors in a trial field in Saint-Ubalde, Québec, Canada. The phenotype of the new cultivar may vary with variations in environmental, climatic, and cultural conditions, as it has not been tested under all possible environmental conditions. The color determination is in accordance with The 2001 R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society, London, England, except where general color terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
