Worden Grape

Historical USDA watercolour of the Worden Grape grape, painted 1860–1875

Worden is an American grape introduced in New York in the 1860s, a seedling of Concord. Blue-black and slip-skinned, it ripens earlier than its parent with a sweeter, less foxy flavour, and was widely grown in the home vineyard.
