Fancy growing the grapes that Cleopatra ate? Or the same vine they have at Hampton Court? Step this way, grape gourmet... The small pack includes one Black Hamburgh and one Muscat Alexandria grape vine. Black Hamburgh is best known for the 230 year old specimen planted at Hampton Court by Lancelot 'Capability' Brown, which is still producing deep red, rich grapes. Muscat of Alexandria is an ancient African variety used by the ancient Egyptians in wine making and reputedly Cleopatra's favourite. The large pack contains both of these plus one Pinot noir and one Chardonnay grapevine. Pinot noir is the red wine lover's red wine grape (it's also lovely eaten fresh) while Chardonnay is the classic dry white wine variety, with sweet, golden yellow grapes. All of these can be eaten straight from the vine Premium plants in 3L pots grown by fruit specialists in Herefordshire, professionally pruned and sent to you in sustainable packaging Growing your own gives you healthy, fresh produce with a lower carbon plantprint than anything you can buy from a shop Grow outdoors on a pergola or wall or indoors in a greenhouse or conservatory.
