Vitis ‘Brianna’ (Grape Vine)

Cold-hardy, Vitis ‘Brianna’ produces large clusters of greenish gold grapes in early fall. The flavor is fruity with hints of grapefruit and pineapple when fully ripe. Perfect as a juice grape or as a light, semi-sweet table wine. A vigorous deciduous shrub, ‘Brianna’ is self-pollinating but will benefit from pollination with another variety. Good disease resistance and tolerance of temperature extremes. Easy to grow, Grape vines not only reward you with large crops of delicious fruits, they are also very decorative, providing a handsome leafy cover that clothes arbors, fences or trellises beautifully.
