Thompson & Morgan Grow Your Own Fruit Grape (vitis) Pinot Gris (red) 10.5Cm Pot X 1

Discover the allure of Grape 'Pinot Gris', a versatile vine prized for its crisp white wines reminiscent of Pinot Grigio. Originating from France and known as 'Pinot Grigio' in Italy, this grape variety showcases a unique blend of blue/grey to bronze/rose-coloured skins and pale green flesh. Its wines range from deep golden yellow to copper, with some even boasting a delicate light pink hue. 'Pinot Gris' is celebrated for its heavy yields of large, tightly clustered grapes, making it a favourite among wine enthusiasts and gardeners alike. As a slip skin variety, the grapes easily release from their skins, simplifying both harvesting and winemaking processes. Whether grown outdoors in a sunny garden or under protection, this grapevine not only promises bountiful harvests but also adds aesthetic charm with its large leaves and vibrant autumn foliage.  How to Grow Instructions: Light: Choose a sunny position, preferably south-facing or against a wall. Temperature: Hardy and suitable for outdoor cultivation. Watering: Maintain even soil moisture, especially during fruit development. Feeding: Incorporate well-rotted manure or compost before planting; fertilize annually. Support: Install sturdy wire framework for twining stems; prune to shape and encourage fruiting.  Images shown are for guidance only and depict mature plants under optimal conditions.
