Marechal Foch. (Mgt. 101-14 x Goldreisling). This blue French Hybrid wine grape, along with its sister seedling Leon Millot, is rapidly gaining popularity in the Northwest and elsewhere for organic wines. The intense, very dark red-violet wines have a distinct, complex quality in the cool climates and literally need little more than pruning and picking. It's also an excellent grape for uncooked grape juice; the fresh juice tastes much like sweet cherry juice. In the warmer climate of the eastern U.S., Foch wine may have a much lighter color. Quite vigorous. I prune mine to both canes and spurs and don't see much difference, but in cooler areas cane pruning works better. Hardy to about -25 F.
