‘Maréchal Foch’ Outdoor Grape Vine
- This wine grape is an underappreciated gem as far as we’re concerned! Most commonly grown these days in the US, this intense red grape can be used to make a variety of different wines, from light-bodied reds all the way through to sweet, fortified dessert wines
- Grape vines offer your garden immense ornamental value, thanks to their attractive fruit bunches and lobed, serrated foliage
- Named after a famous French general who served in WW1, this grape vine is as tough as an old, grizzled veteran, and will survive the majority of British winters
- There are a number of ways you can grow your grape vine, including the rod-and-spur and guyot methods, depending on what you want and the space you have available to you
- This grape is technically what’s known as a teinturier grape, which differs from other red wine grapes in that it has red flesh and juice, unlike red wine grapes, which despite their skins, actually still have white interior flesh and juice
