Growing Dessert Grapes in New Zealand

Grape vines can live for hundreds of years. Yet they're surprisingly easy to maintain. Two common types are those producing grapes for dessert and those producing grapes for wine. They're different.

While dessert grapes are ready to eat fresh from the vine, wine grapes are sour and must be taken further through a fermentation process. Thriving in well drained, calcium rich soils that are set in warm, sunny spots, dessert vines grow equally well along a fence or trellis or even in a well placed pot with support, but the more sun and heat they get, the better they'll produce. An annual application of lime and a general fertilizer treatment helps, but always remember, grapes do not like wet feet and, too, need to be pruned when their leafs fall.

The dessert vine (and there are dozens of varieties), once mature, will produce juicy bunches year-after-year each February through April.
