Comments from lfw: Sabrevois is the name given to Elmer Swenson's ES 2-1-9 in August 2001. It was named after the village near the Richeliu River in southern Quebec where Gilles Benoit of Vignoble des Pins first made high quality wine from the variety. Sabrevois is very winter hardy with good disease resistance, is quite vigorous and exhibits good upright growth patterns. It produces bunches of small to medium size, with moderate sugars and slightly high acids. It can yield wines with good fruit and deep colour, and, if fully ripened, be quite aromatic in character. It responds well to oak treatments, and would be quite useful served with foods made with tomatoes. Makes a highly aromatic rose if pressed very early. Dry red varietal sabrevois should age well and may require two years in bottle to round off the rough edges. Probably best as part of a blend with other red hybrid varieties known for higher sugars (say maybe Frontenac or Landot Noir). According to the new book Northern Winework. Sabrevois is hardy to -35oC (-31oF).
