(Wines&Vines) - Dr. Bruce I. Reisch, director of the grape-breeding program at Cornell University's New York State Agricultural Experiment Station in Geneva, announced the naming of two new grape varieties developed at the station. Arandell is a mid-season red winegrape with a high degree of natural disease resistance. Aromella is a winter-hardy white winegrape with excellent aromatic Muscat wine characteristics. Both varieties were formally named and released Feb. 7 at Viticulture 2013 in Rochester, N.Y. The Geneva Station grape-breeding program has always been a cooperative project with the enology program, and Reisch presented the two new releases with enologist Dr. Anna Katharine Mansfield.
