| Davis Viticultural Research - Mission DVR is devoted exclusively to breeding and selling new, patented grape varieties and to assist in creating a market for this new family of vines. It is a privately owned corporation and is not directly affiliated with any educational or governmental institution. All DVR vines were bred and developed in Davis, California or nearby Winters, California. They have been field tested in both northern and southern California, central Missouri, and western Illinois. All DVR vines share one parent in common: Norton, (a.k.a. Cynthiana, a.k.a. Virginia Seedling). DVR's research and breeding program has yielded several dozen outstanding new vines which in reality constitute an entirely new family of fine wine grapes. All DVR vines are Norton crossed with a pure Vitis Vinifera parent. DVR has developed crosses from: Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, Malbec as well as other outstanding Vinifera from Spain, Italy, Portugal, Hungary and the Middle East. All DVR vines are crosses of Norton and Vitis Vinifera. Norton itself is a cross of Vitis Cinerea and Vitis Vinifera thus all DVR vines have a gross Vinifera percentage of 75%. DVR vines are not French Hybrids, nor related in any way to French Hybrids, nor share any of the flavor profiles of French Hybrids. |
