  I shouldn't think you can ID variety from a leaf.

  It is possible but it is not easy. Normally you would also examine bunches of grapes as well as leaves, both at various stages of development. That is the science of ampelography - https://www.bkwine.com/features/winemaking-viticulture/learn-how-to-identify-a-grape-variety-by-the-leaf-and-grape-bunch/

  
  

  DNA testing has largely replaced such old school botany but is probably too expensive for the average gardener.
