Mulgrave Heights - our vines

Much speculation has occurred as to the variety of our vines. as yet, I have been unable to definitively categorise their variety. Both vines were well established when my partner Myles and I, bought the house in 2000.

The vines are prolific producers. In 2007, we picked over 40kgs of grape from the north facing vine alone! The bunches are large, often greater than 40 cm in length and weigh up to 750gms -1 kg each. This vine is netted ever year. Due to the position of the westerly vine (against the garage wall and inside a raised vegetable patch,) the westerly vine is left to the birds and possums, with us coming a distinct 3rd.

The grapes have a deep purple skin, a white fruit and small seeds. They are not fabulous as a table grape, but we certainly eat a few as we pick them :)
