Our Feedback
Fantastic quality of trees, vines and plants.
Very professional service. If only all sellers opperated at this level.
Had one vine that got caught up in a late delivery but the staff were really helpful and replaced it immediately.
I will recommend to friends and family.
Ives S., Surrey
Supplied as a bare root grafted vine approximately 12" - 18" (30 - 45 cm) tall including roots.
This Product is Available Now.One of the classic four claret varieties, originating from France but now grown throughout the world, this really is well worth growing and should not be treated just as a novelty.
Apart from in the warmest parts of the UK it is unlikely that the fruit will ripen fully before the onset of Winter, and so growing under protection is recommended.
Dark purple-black fruits produce a rich red juice that can be sweetened for drinking, or fermented to make fine red table wines with that characteristic blackcurrant overtone. The grapes themselves are fairly small in size whilst the vine has a good resistance to disease.
