List of grape varieties

Add article description

This list of grape varieties includes cultivated grapes, whether used for wine, or eating as a table grape, fresh or dried (raisin, currant, sultana). For a complete list of all grape species, including those unimportant to agriculture, see Vitis.

"Wine grapes" redirects here. For the book, see Wine Grapes.

The term grape variety refers to cultivars (rather than the botanical varieties that must be named according to the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants).

Single species grapes

While some of the grapes in this list[1][2][3][4][5] are hybrids, they are hybridized within a single species. For those grapes hybridized across species, known as interspecific hybrids, see the section on multispecies hybrid grapes below.

Multispecies hybrid grapes

Vinifera hybrids (wine)

Hybrid grape varieties (see Hybrid grapes) or "hybrids" is, in fact, the popular term for a subset of what are properly known as hybrids, specifically crossings between one species of the genus vitis and another. The scientific definition of a hybrid grape is any crossing (intra- or inter-specific) of two grape varieties. In keeping with the popular definition, however, the ones listed below are inter-specific hybrids where one parent is a European grape. Most of these are complex mixtures of three or more species and all parents are not always clearly known.

Notes

  1. The Ruffino family claims to be the only producer of Mataòssu, claiming both that Mataòssu and Lumassina are separate (but closely related) varieties, and that other wines labeled Mataòssu are in fact Lumassina. Others state that Mataòssu and Lumassina are different names for the same variety.
