Red Hanepoot grapes is a versatile small to medium red skin fruit and can be used for juicing, winemaking and lovely as a raw fruit. They are even sweeter and juicier than the white Hanepoot.
Red Hanepoot grapes should be ready for harvest in February/March. Once picked they do not stay fresh for very long.
Tips:
Do not allow your growing grape vines to become waterlogged, but keep them moist without drying out.
Protect the fruit from hungry birds by covering with maximum 40% shade netting.
Grapes often get a fungal disease like powdery mildew. Spray our plants with lime sulphur while they are dormantr, do not spray when they have leaves on.
Only pick grapes when fully ripe, reduce watering during ripening stage.
