Moonbeam is a hardy white grape. In 1950, The Daniels Nursery described it as Minnesota No. 66 and a Minnesota Station creation. The catalog presents it as a high quality dessert grape and says it is useful across Minnesota. [S1]
The fruit is described as large, with tender skin and a sweet, mild, pleasant flavor. It ripens just after Beta, which places it among the early hardy grapes in the nursery's Minnesota focused lineup. Daniels calls it one of their finest dessert grapes. [S1]
The vine is described as vigorous to very vigorous, and its foliage is noted as resistant to mildew. That mix of hardiness, strong growth, and disease resistant foliage helps explain why the nursery recommended it broadly for Minnesota plantings. [S1]
The source does not give parentage, breeder name, or a release year beyond identifying Moonbeam as Minnesota Station selection No. 66. Its hardiness is stated descriptively rather than by zone, but the catalog's recommendation for all of Minnesota is strong regional evidence for cold climate use. [S1]
