Description
Often called the Beaujolais grape, this variety is well known for producing fruit-filled young red wines. Strangely it is a variety that has not been extensively grown commercially outside France.
The dark purple-black fruits produce a delicate red juice that can be sweetened for drinking, or fermented to make light red table wines with that characteristic fruit-packed flavour.
Whilst late to ripen, this variety should perform successfully outside in southern parts of the UK. For more northern gardeners (or to guarantee success every year) growing under protection is recommended.
- Originally from France.
- Late-season fruit ripening (probably too late for all but the south / south west of the UK if grown outside).
- Winter wood ripening is good - so can be grown both outdoors or under protection (greenhouse, polytunnel or conservatory) - though to guarantee fruit ripening we would suggest protected growing.
- Can be trained using either the cane replacement method or spur pruning.
- Self fertile.
- Fruit contains seeds.
