Outdoor Grape Variety - Regent (Blue/Black Variety) Regent (Vitis vinifera 'Regent') is an extremely versatile grape variety, producing very large blue-black coloured grapes. These are noted for their sweet refreshing flavour which will mature to a true black in the best of summers. Regent also produces a real colour show in autumn, when its leaves produce beautiful red colours. Excellent choice for moderate acidity wine making with high fruit yields and higher alcohol content. Good resistance against the most significant fungus attacks such as downy mildew. A soft fruit gift: We will include a message card included at no additional cost if required.
General Vine Information All vines are at least 2 years old and grafted onto a root stock that will be 3 years old. This is to improve vigour (growth and fruit production). The vines are pruned back several times a year and can easily grow 1m (3ft) in a season. They might fruit in the first year, local conditions allowing, certainly the second. Bred to be Phylloxera resistant.
Vines will last 100's of years if looked after and outdoor vines can be successfully grown outdoors as far North as Yorkshire (depending on weather conditions).Indoor grapes have been grown in a Greenhouse in Aberdeenshire. Give them as much sun as possible, keep ventilated and humidity down. This applies to indoor and outdoor grapes.
