** PLEASE NOTE: Although considered a «seedless» variety, seeds might occasionally appear some years, when the vine has been “stressed”.

 

As stated by Cornell University: «The degree of seedlessness varies greatly among seedless grape varieties. Most seedless grapes have vestigial seed traces that range in size from very small to large and noticeable. Seed traces in berries of the same variety may vary greatly in size and in the hardness of their seed coats. Climate is also known to affect seed trace size. Occasionally the seed traces in some seedless grapes are large enough to be bothersome to consumers.»

 

*WARNING! This grape variety is not hardy in Quebec. Winter protection is required in areas which hardiness zone is less than 5b (Ex: 5b, 5a, 4b, 4a, 3b etc… Cover with geotextile…)

 

No guarantee offered on cultivars that are not hardy in Quebec.

Vanessa

 

Selon l’Université du Minnesota, la caractéristique qui sépare le «Vanessa» des autres cépages sans pépin est sa texture croquante.

 

Bruce Reisch, Professeur au Département des Sciences de l’Horticulture de l’Université de Cornell dans l’état de New York (USA) spécialisé en viticulture, a signalé que la qualité des fruits en fait l’un des meilleurs raisin de table parmi les cépages rouges sans pépin.
