Bushel of Grapes

An early, blue, concord type grape with compact clusters, flavor is sweet and mildly foxy.

Many people come to our vineyard and want "only concord grapes" to make jelly. Then I tell them the concord may not be ripe yet but take a look at Price. Although some customers only want concord, most people really like the sweeter flavor of Price.

Variety Notes

 

More Info

 

Price. A complex blue hybrid from VPI (Virginia Polytechnic Institute).

For those who like Concord as a table grape, the flavor of Price is a refined version of Concord. The clusters are small, but the Concord-size berries have juicy, tender, very sweet flesh, and skin that is much more tender and less astringent than Concord. Where Concord has sugar of 16 degres Brix, Price can achieve 22 degrees Brix..

Three clusters per shoot is not unusual, either. The vine is productive, with good vigor. It ripens very early, and it's one that deserves trial for cool, short growing seasons everywhere.

Reported hardy to -25 degrees F, with good general disease resistance.

   

Where are the Price vines
located in the vineyard?

 

Price Sign

  • Rows 6 & 7

Rows 6 & 7 were part of the original vineyard planted in 1983.

Most customers really like Price as an alternative to concord.

Where can I Purchase Price Wine & Vines?

 

Red Wine

I have not seen Price wine sold in stores. It is very unique and most Price grapes go to the fresh market.

It may be included (but not on the label) of many wines that have a fruity, sweeter finish.

These style of wines may be purchased on line from:


Due to regulations wine cannot be shipped into Michigan from other states. Stop by these wineries to purchase this style of wine.

(Note - If any other winery carries this style of wine and wants to be included here, please let us know)


We do not sell wine or vines. Please go to our resource page for a listing of nurseries.

The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of 'liberalism,' they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.

Do grapes need a frost to ripen?

Absolutely not. There are early and late season varieties, an early season grape left on the vine until frost will be mushy and overripe.
