The fruits have a distinctive blackcurrant note and make a superb wine, they can also be turned into juice if sweetend. This self-fertile variety crops late in the season and therefore best grown under cover in the UK. Perfectly suited to growing in a large greenhouse, you can also train it to a sunny wall or pergola in a very well sheltered, sunny area. Height of cordon trained vine: 1.8m (6’). Spread of cordon trained vine: 1.5m (5’). Untrained plants may reach up to 8m (26').When growing grape vines choose a sunny position in any well drained soil. A south facing position against a wall is ideal. Grape vines require sturdy support for their twining stems. Before planting, prepare a framework of wires stretched horizontally between two sturdy 1.8m (6’) posts or attached to a warm wall. Prior to planting, incorporate plenty of well rotted manure or garden compost into the soil. Plant grape vines against the wire supports, allowing a distance of 2m (6’) between plants. After planting, reduce the newly planted grape vine back to height of the lowest support wire, and cut back any side shoots to one bud, before tying the main stem in to the supporting wires.Position: Full Sun.
