Our Feedback
Hi just received my herbs - very nice quality thank you. Just to say that the cardboard box had almost fallen apart so you might want to considered a waxed box or something stronger.

Supplied as a containerised vine grafted on S04 rootstock approximately 2 feet (60 cm) tall including pot.
This Product is Available Now.Arguably this is the classic wine grape of Germany, producing wines of similar quality to some of the noble grapes of France (where it is also grown).
The fruits are late in ripening, making this variety suitable only for growing under protection; this is especially important if you want to allow 'noble rot' (evaporation of some of the moisture of the grapes caused by the fungal infection Botrytis cinerea) to take hold of the golden-yellow fruits and thus have a go at making your own dessert wines.
Being high in sugar, this is also an attractive and sweet eating variety.
