Vitis vinifera ‘Muscat of Alexandria’
Vitis Muscat of Alexandria’ is a seedless white grape plant. Due to its very early flowering, this variety is best kept in the greenhouse to prevent the flowers from freezing. This very juicy white large grape is delicious for making wine and of course as a snack or for use in dishes. It is a climbing plant that can grow several metres high. You can lead it into all sorts 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 May-June, after which the grape bunches will form. The fruits are green-white, with a sweet taste. You can eat them directly or use them for jam or juice. This Muscat grape is also very suitable for a sweet, full-bodied wine. The grape plant needs a lot 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.
