Gourmet grapes are a plant variety whose fruits, when consumed, leave a nutmeg aftertaste in the mouth. In some encyclopedias and scientific reference books there is another name for the berry - Gourmet - flashlight. What is its difference from other varieties?

Gourmand - Muscat grape variety

Variety varieties

Breeder Krainov developed 5 forms of Gurman. They all differ from each other in some technical characteristics.

Early

Variety Gourmand early

Its bushes are medium-sized, the growing season is quite long, about 120 days. The berries are reddish and sweet. The plant is not susceptible to oidium, mildew, gray rot.

Gourmand

Subspecies of the Gourmand grape – Lakomka

An excellent hybrid. It is early ripening, ripens in 100 days. The berries here are large, juicy and sweet, and can be stored for a long time. The taste contains notes of nutmeg. Frost resistance of such bushes reaches -26 degrees.

The youngest of all Gourmets. Its bushes are vigorous, the growing season is 110-115 days. The variety shows excellent resistance to diseases: both fungal and bacterial. Frost resistance of Graceful is -22 degrees.

Rainbow

Kish mish Gourmet Rainbow

This is a mid-season and heat-loving variety. It is grown exclusively in the south. The average weight of a bunch is 1 kilogram. The berries are round, juicy, large. The variety is practically not affected by fungal and bacterial diseases.

History of the variety

Botanical reference books indicate that the lantern monoculture was produced through selective breeding. Its ancestors were sultana radiata and talisman. The crossing was carried out under the leadership of Viktor Nikolaevich Krainov, who studied this plant from his youth. His father, a retired colonel, introduced his son to grapes and got him interested in breeding. After which, Krainov, on the advice of an experienced breeder, decided to obtain hybrid forms with a certain set of characteristics.

The first experiments were successful and, seeing the result, V.N. Krainov continued the crossing. Thanks to his work, the world learned such forms as:

• Lowland;
• Nina;
• First-Called;
• Tuzlovsky giant;
• Transfiguration
• Novocherkassk red.

In total, during the work, about forty different varieties were obtained, including gourmet grapes and its varieties.

Description and appearance

After studying the description of the Gurman Early variety, many gardeners will want to get their hands on it. It is a table variety and ripens fairly quickly. The growing season is 110-115 days in the south, and about 120-130 in more northern regions.

Bush

Powerful, vigorous plant. He needs to leave at least 5-6 square meters. meters. The shoots ripen quite well, about 2/3. The leaves are dark green, standard shape, five-lobed.

bunches

Gurman has fairly large bunches, their standard weight is 0.8-1 kilogram. With proper pruning, the weight can reach 1.5 kilograms. The grape berries fit quite tightly to each other, but do not crush.

Berries

Gurman's flowers are female. Therefore, for pollination, a second variety is required, blooming at approximately the same time. The berries are quite large, cylindrical, with an average weight of 9-11 grams. The pulp is juicy and dense, and may contain several small seeds inside. Gurman's juice is colorless.

Agrobiological characteristics

G. early

An early-ripening hybrid form of grapes with a growing season duration of 115−125 days from bud break to the onset of harvest maturity. The growth vigor of the bushes is average. The annual growth matures well, approximately 2/3 of the length. Cuttings have good rooting ability.

The crown of the young shoot of the variety is green, without bright tones, but with a whitish tint due to weak cobwebby pubescence. The leaves of Gurman early are large, rounded or slightly elongated in length, three- and five-lobed, with an average degree of dissection. The surface of the leaf is net-wrinkled, dark green with reddish veins. The upper side notches are of medium depth, open, with parallel sides, or lyre-shaped, with a rounded bottom. The lower notches are barely visible or absent. Petiole notches are found both open and closed. Petioles are medium long, greenish-red in color. The denticles along the edge of the grape leaf are low and dome-shaped.

Flowers with a functionally female type of flowering. Flowering, depending on the region, occurs in late May, early June. The clusters grow very large, cylindrical-conical in shape, of moderate density with an average weight of 500 to 1300 grams. The berries in the bunch are usually aligned, without signs of peas, oval, large in size - 25-27 mm long and 22-23 mm in diameter. The average weight of a grape is 8-10 grams. The color is very attractive - yellowish-pink with a slight pruin coating of a light color. The pulp density of the variety is average, the taste is pleasant with distinct nutmeg shades. The skin of the grape berries is medium thick, easy to chew and almost not felt when eating.

Early

The yield of Gurman early is consistently high - up to 10 or more kilograms per bush with proper care. The frost resistance of the hybrid is increased; the vine can withstand temperatures down to -23°C without damage.

G. graceful

It has generally similar characteristics to the previous grapes, differing in the morphological characteristics of the leaves, the size of the bunches and the color of the berries. Thus, its leaves are deeply wrinkled, round, slightly dissected, with V-shaped upper lateral notches, absent lower ones, and a slit-like petiole notch. Ripe brushes are conical in shape, with an average weight of 500−800 grams. The grapes are greenish-yellow in color.

G. gourmand

This variety ripens 7-10 days earlier than previous varieties. The growing season before harvesting is 105−115 days. The leaves are very similar to Gourmand graceful. The bunch is cylindrical-conical, weighing 700-1500 grams, but the berries are somewhat smaller - measuring 20-21 by 24-25 mm and weighing up to 6-7 grams. The color of the fruit is yellowish-pink, and after full ripening it is pinkish-lilac. The seeds in grape berries are underdeveloped and are usually represented by soft rudimentary inclusions, which determines the increased tasting ratings of this form.

G. flashlight

It is very similar to the gourmet in the absolute majority of positions; it is difficult to even imagine why the author singled it out as a separate hybrid.

G. rainbow

This grape has the most dissected leaf of all the representatives of the series, with a smooth surface, deep lyre-shaped side notches and an open vaulted petiole with a pointed bottom. The mass of a bunch of Rainbow Gourmet is 600−1000 grams. The length of the berries is 30-32 mm, diameter - 22-23 mm, average weight 8-10 grams. The variety is the last of its brethren to ripen - 120-130 days from the moment the buds open.

Rainbow

All varieties have excellent taste and presentation, which is why they are mostly used for fresh consumption. Lakomka and Flashlight are especially different in this regard, demonstrating exceptional gastronomic properties due to the weak development of seeds. At the market, all forms attract the attention of buyers with their large fruit and delicate coloring of the berries, and the muscat tones in the taste complement the excellent impression of the grapes. The bright aroma is preserved even when the harvest is used for home canning. Compotes, juices, preserves and jams will not leave anyone who tries them indifferent. The suitability of the collected bunches for transportation over long distances is quite good, while they can be stored without loss for only a few weeks, and even then in optimal temperature and humidity conditions.

Gourmet berries rarely crack, and only under the most unfavorable conditions, due to which they can continue to hang on the bushes for a significant period of time after ripening. The increased resistance of all varieties to gray rot also has a beneficial effect on the possibility of long-term preservation of the crop on the vine. However, due to insufficiently thick and strong skin, damage to the grape berries by wasps can occur, which significantly reduces the marketability of the crop.

Features of planting the variety

Gourmet does not require special growing conditions. It is enough to water and feed it regularly for the plant to reward you with a good harvest.

Site selection

It is best to plant Gourmand in quiet places protected from the wind. It is better that it is well lit by the sun.

Soil requirements

The soil should be neutral or alkaline, and in no case acidic. The plant will wither on it and stop producing crops. When planting, fill the hole with organic matter and apply a set of necessary fertilizers.

Lighting

Gourmet should be planted in lighted areas. The longer the sun hits it, the faster the crop will ripen. It is important that each bunch is well lit.

Optimal planting dates

In the southern regions, Gurman can be planted both in autumn and spring. This should be done no earlier than May, so that the plant does not die from return frosts, and no later than October, so that it has time to take root. In the northern regions, only spring planting is permissible.

Selection and preparation of planting material

Choose only healthy and intact seedlings, without any damage. Before planting, they can be soaked in Kornevin solution to improve the functioning of the root system.

Step-by-step landing algorithm

Planting Gurman is very easy. You can use the algorithm:

1. Dig a hole 80*80 centimeters in advance;
2. Fill it with organic matter, add mineral fertilizers;
3. Spread the roots of the seedling and place it in the hole;
4. Begin to carefully fill in the soil;
5. Compact the planting so that the soil settles;
6. Water the grapes thoroughly and shade them for several weeks.

Landing

Let's learn how to root a Gourmet grape seedling.

Selecting a location

In order for this variety to successfully develop and bear fruit, it is very important to choose a suitable place for it on the site. Choose a sunny, warm, well-lit place. The best option is a southern slope or a place on the southwest side of the garden.

Shady meadows are not suitable for this grape, since the vine will develop there at a slower pace, and the taste of the berries is unlikely to be very sweet.

It is better if the plant is planted on a hill. Planting should not be done in lowlands, since cold air, dampness, and moisture accumulate in such places. All this has an extremely negative impact on the well-being of the plant and its productivity.

Priming

The soil under the vineyard should be loose and fertile. If there is such a need, the soil should be improved by adding:

• sand;
• compost;
• humus;
• wood ash.

Seedling selection and preparation

Purchase varietal grapes from nurseries. This will protect you from purchasing low-quality planting material: diseased, infected, or inappropriate for the variety. In any case, make sure that the seedling has no defects, suspicious spots, cracks, or other damage.

Before rooting, the seedling must be pruned. Only a couple of the strongest and strongest shoots are left, and even those are shortened by two eyes. The roots are also trimmed, leaving 15 cm in length.

Deadlines

The plant is usually rooted in the spring, choosing the time before the buds swell. In the south, planting can also be done in the fall: the end of September or the first half of October is optimal.

Pit preparation and planting

1. First of all, a planting hole is formed with parameters of 80x80x80 cm.
2. A drainage layer of expanded clay or crushed stone is laid at the bottom of this pit. Layer thickness 10 cm.
3. A layer of nutritious soil made of humus and sand is placed on top of the drainage. Fertilizers are also added - potassium sulfate and superphosphate.
4. After the soil settles, the seedling is rooted. Its roots must be spread along the bottom of the hole and then covered with earth.
5. The soil is compacted and the plant is watered abundantly.

Reproduction methods

Most often this is done in 2 ways: cuttings or grafting.

1. Cuttings are harvested in the fall and then stored in a damp substrate in the basement. It is very important to scratch the bottom of the cutting so that it forms roots more actively. Additionally, the cut site is treated with Kornevin.
2. If you are an experienced gardener, you can try propagating grapes using the grafting method. This is usually done in splits. Take sharp and sterile instruments. Starting in the summer, start breaking off the growth points so that nutrients accumulate at the splitting site. Then a cutting is attached there and secured tightly. You can remove the fabric that secured the cutting only in August-September.

Varieties of Gourmand grapes

Viktor Nikolaevich Krainov created quite a number of grape varieties, among which there are only 5 gourmet varieties that have a female flower structure:

1. Early (plant height is average, berries are round, pale in color, resistant to major pests).
2. Gourmand (large round berries, ripening a little more than a hundred days, the variety can withstand lower temperatures, average pest resistance).
3. Raduzhny (mid-season variety, heat-loving, not suitable for growing in cold regions, the clusters have a conical shape and weigh around 1 kg, the berries are oval, resistant to fungal pests).
4. Elegant (young variety, tall plants, ripening period is a little more than 110 days, fruits are sweet, elongated, slightly colored, pest-resistant).
5. Gourmet - lantern (berries are oval, pinkish, large, tall plant, resistant to most pests).

Cultivation and care technology

Rules for planting and caring for Gourmet early grapes

Gourmet does not require particularly complex care. The variety is absolutely undemanding, but if treated well, it thanks the gardener with excellent yields.

Watering rules

Any grape responds well to water. Immediately after planting, Gourmand early is watered almost every week - you need to make sure that the earthen lump does not dry out. At this time, roots are growing and need help. The bushes are also watered in the spring, as the plant awakens.

Watering is almost completely stopped immediately after flowering. The berries should gain sugar content, not water. When the harvest is harvested, the bushes begin to be watered again. It is especially important to do this in September-October to nourish the plant before winter.

It is recommended to mulch the ground under the plant so that the ground retains water for as long as possible.

Features of cultivation

Early Gourmet grape cuttings, as well as self-rooted seedlings, adapt well to new growing conditions and quickly begin to grow, including in the Moscow region.

On a note! Experienced winegrowers advise planting next to the bed where parsley grows. In this case, the taste of the fruit will increase.

The sun-loving fruit crop does not tolerate shade. When grown in inappropriate conditions, yields are reduced, lack of light leads to insufficient bud formation, and susceptibility to disease increases. It is also not recommended to plant the vine near fruit-bearing trees. Planting of grape crops should be carried out at a distance of 1.5 m from residential buildings, 3 m from bushes and 7 m from fruit trees. The site should be located on the east or south side of the house.

Landing rules

Gourmet grapes are a heat-loving plant, so for planting it is important to choose a sunny place with deep water. Planting on a hill will prevent flooding of the tree trunk circle with water. The area should be well ventilated.

Be careful! Planting should not be done in the shade of trees, as a lack of natural light will lead to poor yields and increase susceptibility to diseases.

In the last days of April and early May, the soil warms up to +12°C. These are ideal conditions for seedlings to survive. When the temperature drops after planting, it is recommended to cover the plants with non-woven material.

The planting hole should have dimensions of 0.8x0.8 m. The bottom of the hole is covered with a drainage layer: broken bricks, pebbles. Half of the pothole is filled with a fertile layer mixed with superphosphate. Planting of seedlings should be carried out at a distance of 3 m from each other, since the vine is characterized by strong growth. It is necessary to install a support: dig in the pillars and stretch the wire between them.

After planting, the seedling is watered. Under one copy you need to pour 20 liters of water. The soil around the vine can be mulched to retain moisture longer.

Pruning, wintering

Early Gourmand grapes are a high-yielding variety. You can achieve good fruiting only if you follow the growing rules. An important step is pruning. Numerous shoots are not needed. Their number should be reduced to 22-23 branches, and reduced by 6-7 eyes.

Spring crown formation is carried out when the outside temperature reaches above zero - +5°C and above. If time is lost, pruning should not be done after sap flow begins. It should be postponed until autumn and carried out after the leaves have fallen.

In summer, the grapes do not require shaping. You just need to cut off unnecessary foliage.

The variety does not tolerate temperatures below -23°C. In areas with harsh climatic conditions, grapes can be grown in a greenhouse, and in regions with moderate weather conditions - in Belarus, Ukraine, the middle zone, only by covering them for the winter.

Feeding and fertilizers

Like any other grape, Gurman early responds well to fertilizing. In the spring, it is necessary to apply nitrogen fertilizers to accelerate the growth of green mass. At the stage of fruit formation, potassium fertilizing is carried out. During ripening, the grapes are not fed anything. After harvesting, phosphorus-potassium fertilizers are applied, which promote the ripening of the vines.

Gourmand also needs to be regularly sprayed with a solution of boron, manganese and zinc to increase the plant’s immunity. In autumn, it is recommended to fertilize grapes with cow manure or chicken droppings. The plant responds well to organic matter.

Vine pruning

This grape variety is a fairly vigorous and unpretentious plant. In early spring, even before the sap begins to flow, it requires radical pruning. You can leave no more than 22-24 shoots on a bush, each with 6-8 buds.

Bunches

Due to the high sugar content of the fruits, they often become victims of birds and wasps. To enjoy your harvest yourself, the bunches must be hidden in special bags.

Shelter for the winter

Early frost resistance of Gurman is -23 degrees. In the southern regions it does not require any shelters, but in the more northern regions they are necessary. Before removing the vine from the support, it is carefully treated with complex preparations. Light sanitary pruning is carried out, after which the shoots are laid on the ground and secured with pins. The top of the grapes is covered with spunbond or other material. For greater reliability, spruce branches are also placed on top or peat is covered.

Protection from diseases and pests

Early Gourmand grapes are a fairly resistant variety. It is practically not affected by gray rot or mildew. However, weakened bushes can suffer from oidium and powdery mildew. They can be recognized by the gray coating that forms. To prevent them, it is necessary to carry out regular treatments with copper or sulfur preparations.

If you prune with contaminated tools, the bush may become infected with anthracnose. You can recognize it by fading leaves and shoots. Over time, entire branches begin to wither, and large brown spots form on the foliage. Everything infected must be carefully trimmed and burned, and the bush should be treated with copper sulfate.

Diseases and pests

Oidium is more common in young, immature plants; it can appear when grown in areas with a hot climate. This disease manifests itself in the form of a grayish coating on the leaves and berries. Over time, the leaves begin to dry out, and the berries crack and rot.

All Gourmets have average resistance to this disease and if preventive measures are taken, infection can be avoided.

As such measures, before flowering begins, you can use off-root fertilizing with phosphorus-potassium fertilizers, and after flowering, add iron, manganese and zinc to them. The use of biological products helps to protect the vineyard.

Anthracnose is a fungal disease characteristic of southern latitudes. Appears when pruning is not done correctly or in places where shoots are mechanically damaged.
Affects leaves, berries and branches. If treatment is not started in time, the plant may die. To avoid infection, it is necessary to properly carry out autumn pruning and treat the grapes with a solution of Bordeaux mixture before flowering. Do not forget about the use of fertilizers and timely watering of the plant.

In addition to diseases, all Gourmand varieties can be attacked by pests . Most often, these varieties are affected by birds, wasps, grape mites and spider mites.

To protect the grapes from damage by birds, you can try to cover the vineyard with a polymer mesh or use a fishing line stretched in several rows between the tiers of the trellis.

To combat wasps, special traps installed near grape bushes are very helpful. Small flat containers with jam or syrup are suitable as such traps, and at the beginning of summer it is better to use a piece of fresh meat or fish. Destroying wasp nests around the vineyard also helps.

The grape mite often affects all types of gourmets. It appears in the form of tubercles on the outside of the leaf. The underside of the leaves is covered with a white felt coating. Before the buds open, treating grapes with nitrophen helps a lot. Later, when the shoots have reached a length of 4-6 cm, you can spray with sulfur or any insecticides and acaricides.

Spider mites appear on the undersides of leaves as small dark spots. After some time, a sticky white web forms on the leaves. Spraying with special preparations and removing affected foliage helps in the fight against this mite.

Ripening time and yield

Grape yield Gurman Krainova

In most southern regions, the Gurman crop can be harvested already in early July. In this case, flowering occurs in the first week of June. If you grow grapes in more northern places, flowering is pushed back to the end of June, and fruiting to mid-September.

Collection, storage and use of crops

When flowering in the first ten days of June, Gurman in the southern regions begins to fill in early July, and ripens by mid-August. In colder climates, for example in Altai, ripening is postponed to early September.

The berries begin to turn pink in early July

The crop must be harvested at full ripeness, since it cannot ripen without a bush. The bunches are carefully cut with pruning shears and placed in shallow wooden boxes for transportation. You need to lay it as tightly as possible, but without crushing the berries! Gourmand stores well - brushes hung in a cool room can “wait” for spring.

Gourmand berries have an excellent taste and can be consumed either fresh or used to make juice, jam, bekmes, and raisins. Thanks to the unusual combination of muscat and floral aroma, Gurman is highly valued in winemaking.

Bekmes, or grape honey, is not only tasty, but also a very healthy delicacy.

Comparison with similar varieties

History of selection

A variety of grapes selected by V.N. Krainova appeared less than 10 years ago and during this time won the hearts of gardeners. An amateur breeder crossed Talisman with the Radiant raisin variety and obtained a new form. He called his work of art Novocherkassk Red. A little later, the culture was assigned the code 1-12.

From this parental pair many hybrids were obtained with different tastes and ripening periods: Graceful, Flashlight, Gourmand, Rainbow. A little later, the Novocherkassk Red hybrid was given the name Early Gourmet.

In 2006, the variety was officially recognized as promising for cultivation in Ukraine, Russia, and Moldova.

In 2016, it was included in the State Register of the Russian Federation and approved for cultivation in all regions under the name Gurman Krainova.

Advantages and disadvantages

The variety is quite common. He received a lot of positive feedback from breeders and ordinary gardeners. The advantages of this hybrid include:

• Fast ripening period;
• High and stable yield;
• Extraordinarily delicate taste of berries;
• High resistance to diseases;
• Tolerates transportation well;
• Has a commercial appearance;
• Friendly maturation.

Among the disadvantages, many gardeners highlight the need to cover the bushes for the winter. Although in the southern regions this is not at all necessary. But if you manage to save the entire vine for the next season, the plant will thank you with an excellent harvest.

Characteristics of the variety

It is not without reason that early gourmand is popular among winegrowers - it has many positive qualities:

• stable high yield (6–8 kg per bush, 200–201 c/ha);
• marketable appearance and excellent taste of berries;
• good preservation of berries on the bush;
• high resistance to fungal diseases (mildew, oidium, gray rot);
• resistance to transportation and storage.

The disadvantages of Gourmand early include the female type of flowers, which is why planting pollinator bushes is necessary. The hybrid is considered a covering crop, although its winter hardiness is not so low - down to -23...-24 oC.

Reviews from winegrowers

Having studied numerous reviews of the Gourmet grape, it becomes clear that gardeners rate it highly. They like the pleasant nutmeg taste of the berries, the yield of the bush, and high frost resistance. The plant is not susceptible to serious diseases; it gets by with regular treatments with complex preparations.

An excellent variety that definitely deserves to be in your garden. It is unpretentious, but at the same time productive. The taste of the berries is very sweet and rich. The plant is not susceptible to fungal and bacterial diseases if preventive treatments are carried out in a timely manner.

Reviews

Early gourmand is the most delicious of the varieties I grow. And it has a beautiful pink appetizing color. Pollinated well, despite the female flower. Evgeniy, Dnepr

I also have no problems with pollination. Valentin, Gorodishche, Cherkasy region.

Gourmand r. for me it is problem-free, with good care it is very technologically advanced and the main thing is taste, if there is no Gourmet in the vineyard, then the vineyard is not full of varieties, from one bush there are four and I don’t regret it, the berries don’t reach the market - we eat them all. Valery, Zaporozhye

Planting and caring for young and adult seedlings

Having an idea of ​​certain features of growing a given hybrid, you can achieve a good harvest from each vineyard bush.

Selection of seedlings

In the spring, they begin to harvest cuttings left after pruning the bushes. The thin shoots are divided into shoots about 30 centimeters long, with five buds on each. The tips of the seedlings are treated with paraffin, then a moistened cloth is placed on top and put away in a dark, cool place for about a month.

After the specified period of time, the primary material, almost ready for planting, is taken out, the ends of the cuttings are cut off and placed for three days in a honey mixture prepared on the basis of water and honey (2 liters of liquid/2 tablespoons of nectar).

The most unusual grapes

There are very, very many varieties of grapes. Winemakers divide them into two categories: table and technical. The first is usually served to the table to “eat like that,” and the second is used to make wine.

We are used to imagining grapes like this: a bunch, not very large, with berries about the size of a fingernail: sometimes a little larger or a little smaller. The grapes are found in white, black and red. Is everything right?

But there are also unique grape varieties, and today we will tell you about them.

Black Corinthian grapes

This is a very ancient grape, known since the times of Ancient Greece. It is unusual in that it is the smallest, and even has the thinnest skin. The grapes are very sweet; by the way, they make good raisins. And although it is not included in the list of international varieties for making classic champagne, Corinthian grapes are often called champagne grapes.

Pinot Gris

This grape is very common. It makes delicious white wines, and due to its unpretentiousness, it grows in many countries. Its non-standard nature lies in the fact that outwardly it looks like red grapes, but the wines made from it are white. This is such a paradox.

And the following varieties are truly unique. Their appearance alone makes you think: something is clearly wrong here.

sea ​​grapes

In fact, these are not grapes at all, but a type of algae that received this name for its resemblance to berries. Looks unusual, doesn't it?

Bright Asian grapes

This is a very, very rare grape variety. Its difference is that the berries are small and become visible only when ripe. To be honest, growing such grapes is not so easy. Who needs such difficulties? Also, despite the fact that you can’t use such grapes for wine.

Rainbow grapes

At first glance, you won’t understand what’s wrong with these grapes. Perhaps he is not ripe? In fact, this is the result of experiments on these berries. Whether it’s tasty or not, we don’t know, but at least it’s beautiful.

Japanese ruby ​​roman grape

We don’t know why or why there is such a long name, but apparently its creators still haven’t decided whether these grapes are Japanese or Roman. A bunch of this grape is perhaps the most expensive in the world. This is understandable: it is also the largest bunch of grapes, because one berry is approximately the size of a good tomato. So you can eat just one berry.

Grapes Witch's Finger

Yes, that's what the name needs! Moreover, these grapes have a cotton candy flavor, which is why children love them very much. This is such an oxymoron. I think there is no need to explain why this grape received such a name.

By the way, in our south they grow a similar variety, but they call it not so horrifyingly - lady fingers.

Jaboticaba grapes

Just look at these grapes! It grows right in the tree trunk! It looks amazingly like a toad, so its name is quite justified. Who wants wine from these grapes?

Fortunately, the wines are not made from the most unusual grape varieties, so everything about them is simple, understandable and without any risk. So buy your wine from WineStreet and rest assured that only the finest grapes were used to make them.
