Grape - Petite Ami™

This grape has nice size clusters. Shown to be hardy in milder regions of zone 4. The Petit Ami Grape, 'Vitis 'Petit Ami', 'DM-8313-1 CV' (PP17,773), is a white grape that makes an excellent Muscat wine with just a hint of rose petal in the nose. This grape tolerates a wide range of soil conditions, but must have good drainage. It was developed in Central Minnesota so the winter hardiness is good and also, good plant vigor. Petit Ami Grape has a healthy vine with average productivity, good sugar/acid levels. Birds love grapes, so be sure to plant some to share. The grape vines can be quite attractive year-round and can provide good cover, screening, or shade to areas around the home. Grapes are primarily grown for fruit production in home fruit gardens where they provide good ornamental value: bold summer foliage, showy fruit, some fall color and shaggy, twisted trunking and branching often best seen in winter. Grapes need full sunlight and high temperatures to ripen, so plant on southern slopes, the south side of windbreaks, or the south sides of buildings. Grapes need a good support system like fences, walls, trellises, arbors or other structures. This wine goes very well with salmon, any spicy dish such as Mexican, Thai and Indian, as well as cheese. ... additional information
