Description
It is often thought that this variety was first brought to England by the Romans (something they actually did do for us) and has since naturalised in some parts of the UK. Believed to be a sport of Pinot Noir, in hardiness it is superior and copes with our climate better as it buds later but ripens earlier.
It is a lovely eating grape with rich purple-black fruits.
As a wine grape it could arguably be described as 'the secret grape' - despite being one of the most widely planted varieties in France it rarely gets a mention; up until recently this has been most noticeable in Champagne with most producers almost denying its use, preferring to emphasise the use of the more noble Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. As it is now being recognised as contributing to the body and richness of Champagnes it is now starting to get more recognition - and about time!
- Originally from France.
- Mid-season fruit ripening.
- Winter wood ripening is good - so can be grown both outdoors or under protection (greenhouse, polytunnel or conservatory).
- Can be trained using either the cane replacement method or spur pruning.
- Self fertile.
- Fruit contains seeds.
