PREORDER - Ships in March 2023
You will receive 1 bare root plant with a healthy root system.
Viognier grapes are a unique variety of white wine grape that is prized for its delicate floral aromas, exotic fruit flavors, and full body. The grapes are native to the Rhône Valley in France, and are relatively new to the world of winemaking, having only been introduced in the late 1970s. The popularity of Viognier has been steadily increasing since then, due to the complexity and richness of its wines.
When it comes to planting Viognier grapes, the most important thing to remember is that they need a lot of sun and heat to thrive. The best sites for growing these grapes are located in warm, sunny climates, with well-drained soils and a south- or south-west-facing aspect. To ensure that the vines get adequate sunlight and warmth, they should be planted on a slope.
In terms of soil type, Viognier grapes prefer soils that are slightly acidic and have good drainage. Sandy loam soils are ideal, but other soils such as clay loam and silt loam can also work. When planting, make sure to space the vines at least 6 to 8 feet apart, and provide ample support for the vines.
When it comes to watering, Viognier grapes should be watered regularly during the growing season, but not excessively. The vines should be watered deeply and infrequently, rather than lightly and frequently. The key is to make sure that the soil is never too dry or too wet, but just moist enough.
Finally, Viognier grapes need to be pruned in order to produce the best quality wines. Pruning should be done in early spring, when the shoots are still young and tender. The goal is to reduce the number of buds and shoots on the vine, while still leaving enough leaves and shoots to support the crop.
Overall, Viognier grapes are a great choice for winemakers looking to produce flavorful, complex wines. With the right planting and care, these grapes can produce some truly exceptional wines.
1. Choose a sunny spot in your yard that gets at least 8 hours of direct sunlight per day.
2. Prepare the soil by loosening it to a depth of at least 12 inches.
3. Plant the grapevines 6-10 feet apart, depending on the variety.
4. Water the plants regularly, making sure to keep the soil moist but not soggy.
5. Fertilize the plants with a balanced fertilizer once or twice a year.
6. Prune the vines regularly to ensure healthy growth and fruit production.
7. Harvest the grapes when they are ripe, usually in late summer or early fall.
By following these simple guidelines, you can enjoy a bountiful harvest of sweet, juicy grapes each year. With proper care and attention, these grapes can produce a delicious crop for many years to come.
