Description

GoldBerry Vine

The GoldBerry vine (formerly Golden Lady) is an exceptional mid-season grape variety resulting from a cross between the French variety Muscat de Saint Vallier and the Moldovan variety Ljana. This disease-resistant variety is gradually establishing itself in European gardens thanks to its remarkable qualities and ease of cultivation.

Ideal for organic cultivation, GoldBerry offers strong disease resistance, exceptional liveliness and produces beautiful golden yellow grapes that are much appreciated by the whole family. This strain is perfect for home gardeners who want to harvest a significant amount of grapes without heavy maintenance.
