This Product is Available Now.

Supplied as grafted vines approximately 12" - 18" (30 - 45 cm) tall including roots and the all important wine making recipe.

This really is a novel gift - and perfect for wine enthusiasts!

'Pinot Noir' and 'Chardonnay' are the classic varieties of grape used for making fine Champagnes.

Whilst it is no longer permitted to call wines made outside of the Champagne region in France 'Champagne', our grape collection is accompanied with the all important recipe to make your own very fine quality sparkling wine using the method as used in France; what you decide to call it is up to you!

Both grapes can be grown outside and will produce a good crop of flavoursome fruit that can be eaten, pressed for grape juice or made into wines.

Despite being a black grape, the juice of 'Pinot Noir' (skins off) is in some cases the only grape used in Champagne; press with the skins on and you will have red grape juice used in Pink Champagnes - and of course 'Pinot Noir' is used for some of the world's best wines - red Burgundy's. A lovely eating grape also.

'Chardonnay' is of course a very well known wine grape  few people know what a tasty eating grape it is.

Supplied as grafted vines approximately 12" - 18" (30 - 45 cm) tall including roots and the all important wine making recipe.
