Regent

Full Description

Description: Regent is a popular outdoor variety that produces a heavy crop of large blue-black grapes which mature to a true black in good summers. Sweet refreshing flavour, delicious for juicing or wine-making, and can sometimes be eaten fresh. They make wines with an acidity flavour and good taste. Red leaves in the autumn add ornamental value as a climbing shrub. A healthy bush with good resistance to fungal diseases. Upright growing habit. This is a very hard grape to beat!

Outdoor Vine Growing Conditions: Vines need reasonably deep, free-draining soil and plenty of sunlight to ripen properly and will happily grow on any good garden soil and sunny site in southern Britain. They can be trained against walls, on trellis or over arches. Remove all flowers for the first two years after planting. Allow only a few bunches of grapes to grow for the first two years.
