Variety of grape

Marquette is an inter-species hybrid red wine grape variety. It was developed at the University of Minnesota as part of its grape breeding program (which seeks to develop high quality, cold hardy, and disease resistant wine and table grape cultivars[1]), and is a cross between two other hybrids, MN 1094 and Ravat 262.[2][3] Marquette was introduced in 2006 and has good resistance to downy mildew, powdery mildew, and black rot, as well as being cold hardy (will survive -37 C when fully dormant[4]).
