Experience the robust beauty of Catawba Grapes, a hardy deciduous vine with lush green foliage. These medium-sized clusters of round, deep purple-red grapes are perfect for making sweet white, red, or rose wines, as well as delicious jellies and juices. Their late-season ripening ensures a rich, flavorful harvest. These vines thrive in well-drained, loamy soil but are adaptable to various conditions. Regular watering in the first growing season helps establish strong roots, and periodic fertilization until midsummer promotes vigorous growth. For support, provide a trellis or arbor, and annual pruning in winter keeps their size in check. Catawba Grapes flourish in full sun, making them ideal for outdoor spaces and vineyard cultivation in zones 5-7. Native to South Africa, these grapes feature dark purple coloring, juicy flesh, and a unique flavor profile with hints of mulberry and black pepper, making them a prized choice for wine production and more. Expect fruiting in 2 to 4-years, but the delicious rewards are well worth the wait.
