Cultivated grape, Vitis vinifera is the grape used for all of the popular red wines: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, and the list goes on. Key to making great wine is using this grape and then pairing the grape juice from this grape with a yeast that is bred for the wine of your desire.
The fruits ripen in September-October. The vines survive well when planted alongside hyssop, oregano and basil (Should "companion planting" be something you would wish to do...these are a great choice). The flowers are the first to bloom and are a yellow-green color.
Grapevines become heavy as they grow. Likewise it is best to twirl the vines or support them with a structure. Some use fences or simple posts with wires. This could be a great opportunity to grow something you will be proud to pass down as they live for 50-100 years!
These seeds are of an excellent germination rate. They come from grapevines being grown specifically for use in a professional USA winery.
