“Alicante Bouchet” is a variety of grape suited for both winemaking and eating fresh. It features large and juicy, dark blue-black berries in autumn which have a red flesh and great flavour. Birds love the fruit and will come from far and wide to feast if they are not protected. It grows as a deciduous vine, carrying lush, mid-green leaves which develop impressive shades of purple and red in autumn before falling. It is generally trained onto a support structure and pruned right back each year. Left untrimmed it will easily grow to 5 m in length. This variety grows best when planted in full sun on a well-drained, sheltered site. It is tolerant of frost, cool climates, and dry periods once established. “Alicante Bouchet” is commonly trained onto a fence or trellis for fruit production or grown as an attractive climber.
