  • Semillon is a white grape varietal native to the Bordeaux region. It is easier to cultivate, and ripens earlier in warmer climates. It is used to make dry and sweet white wines.
  • A white grape variety most commonly found in the Northern Rhone region of France. This variety often produces a relatively heavy crop of loosely clustered berries that prefer dry warm regions to grow in. The wine shows flavors of melon, honeydew and mineral, along with undertones of nuttiness. This could be a great substitution for Chardonnay or could be blended with Roussanne.
  • Rootstock ONLY is just what is says; "rootstock only."  There is no grape variety grafted to it.  Use this option if you want to do your own grafting in the field. This is a great option for shade arbors also.  Rootstock varieties produce little or no fruit.  But, they look just like a fruiting variety without the maintenance and care that comes with producing fruit. Rootstock varieties are also Pierece's disease resistant.  
  • Gruner Veltliner is a white wine grape variety that ripens mid to late October. The vine can be very fruitful and high yielding, and produce small yellowish-green berries.
  • Like Sangiovese and Montepulciano, Barbera is one of the more popular grape varieties of Italy.  It is very productive with tight clusters and large berries.  It also benefits from a long, hot, dry growing season.  It is not suitable to cold winter temperatures.  The wines are a deep, ruby red with higher acidity.  This makes it a good wine to pair with food.
