Kee-Wah-Din is a cross of OSBU pollinated by Baco Noir, tested as selection 64. B-2. The variety is a blue-black grape, extremely early; August 1st in Cincinnati. The berries are medium-small, round on a medium-large cluster with a shoulder. The shank is short. The vine is healthy, vigorous and productive, with 4 clusters per shoot. It is self-fruitful. The juice has a light red tinge with sugars at 20%. The flavor is berrylike resembling the Baco Noir parent. It makes a good red wine. The variety appears best adapted to regions similar to Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Northern Michigan. Kee-Wah-Din is very cold hardy. The name means "NORTH WIND" in the Chippewa-Ottawa Indian language.
