Plant description
A vigorous vine that has 3- to 5-lobed, fresh green leaves and in summer juicy clusters of black grapes. 'Pinot Noir' grapes produce wines that have great qualities: good structure, finesse and complex aromas, such as raspberry and roasting coffee. Either drink as a young wine or allow to mature in the bottle. Grow this plant against a warm, sunny wall to ensure a good crop.

How to care for grape Pinot Noir:
To avoid dry conditions, and to ensure good soil contact around the rootball, we advise planting climbers at least 30cm (12in), and preferably 45-60cm (18-24in) away from the base of a wall or fence. An even larger distance should be maintained when planting climbers beside an existing tree or shrub.
When planting incorporate plenty of well-rotted organic matter in to the planting hole. It will need some help to clamber up a tree, wall or pergola so you will need to provide some support and tie it in as it grows.
Once it has developed a good framework you should shorten all the lateral shoots to within two or three buds from the main stem. It is essential that the majority of the pruning work is tackled in mid winter as the sap tends to 'bleed' at other times of the year, but you can cut back the odd over-long stem to a healthy bud in summer.

Please note:
This climber is deciduous so it will lose all its leaves in autumn, then fresh new foliage appears again each spring.
