Over the last 24 months we have expanded the developmental work with Munson’s Brilliant. As part of this project we have stepped up the pace of propagation and integrated the Brilliant into our breeding program.

In the lab we have been working on understanding the vintification of this wonderful variety. Brilliant displays some amazing characteristics that include very good PD tolerance (With supporting imidicloprid program), superior juice chemistry profile, astounding drought and heat performance. Easily capable of cranking out 27 brix at a sustained 105 degree growing environment the Brilliant holds great potential for the production of soft, fruity, rose’ dessert wines.
