Diamond Grape

Historical USDA watercolour of the Diamond Grape grape, painted 1860–1873

Moore's Diamond is an American grape introduced in New York in the 1870s, a cross of Concord and Iona. Its greenish-white berries are juicy and sweet with only a mild "foxy" character, and its early ripening made it a popular white table grape of the Northeast.
