Ives noir is a red hybrid grape variety that is grown throughout the United States. The grape is named after its propagator Connecticut wine grower Henry Ives but the grapes pedigree and exact origin is not clear. After Prohibition in the United States Ives was a popular grape used in the production of sweet port-style wines but saw its plantings steadily decrease throughout the 20th century as the vine’s susceptibility to air pollution took its toll.
