- Grape 'Cabernet’ - Superb red grape for making wine and delicious when sweetened as a juice. Best grown under cover to protect crops from early frosts. Harvest in October.

Water grapes vines only during dry periods as excessive watering can reduce the quality of the fruit. Apply a mulch of well rotted manure or garden compost to the base of the vines in spring to retain moisture at their roots throughout summer. Prune grape vines in winter and train them in summer. Do not allow them to carry a crop of grapes until their third summer.
