- Family: Vitaceae
- Plant Type: Fruit
- Key features:
- Fruits
- Prefers rich soil
There are many varieties of grapevine, which bear grapes that can be eaten as a dessert or used to produce wine – many can be used for both. Some are tender and need the shelter of a greenhouse to crop prolifically, but if you don’t have one, don’t worry, there’s a wide variety that can be grown in well-drained soil in a sheltered spot such as against a south- or west-facing fence or wall.
Also known as ‘Dattier Saint-Vallier’, ‘Muscat Saint-Vallier’ is a self-fertile, seeded hybrid grape, better suited to eating than being used for wine. The large white-green fruits have a sweet, delicate muscat, flavour.
