Description

Vitis Johanniter’ is a white grape that is less sensitive to fungal diseases. It is a crossbreed of the Riesling with resistant grape varieties. From this grape one can make Riesling-like wine, full of fruit and muscatel. It is a climbing plant that can grow several metres high. You can lead it into all kinds of shapes and keep it very compact by pruning it well. You can easily lead the grape along a pergola or on a wall with tension wires. The grape first produces inconspicuous clusters of flowers in July-August, after which the white bunches of grapes will form. The fruits are white-green in colour, juicy with a sweet taste. You can eat them directly or use them to make jam, juice or wine. The grape plant needs plenty of sun to ripen and loves heat so a south-facing location is ideal. The grapes can be harvested from mid-September onwards. The soil should be well-drained and nutritious and preferably not too acidic, but rather calcareous. Pruning increases the fruit yield and the plant also looks neater. It is best to prune the plant in the period between November and February, but not during severe frost. Prune superfluous side and main branches. This grape variety is Hardy and can withstand temperatures up to -20 degrees without problems.
