Bluebell

Bluebell Wine Details
Price:

Description: We originally planted the Bluebells as juice grapes, not wine grapes. However, we discovered they make a great wine. Their taste is very distinct and "grapey" with sweet, floral notes. Bluebell is a hardy, well-producing grape.

Varietal Definition
Bluebell:
Bluebell is a cold-hardy grape created by the University of Minnesota. It produces small, Concord-type berries, which ripen about two to three weeks earlier than that variety. It is said to be cold resistant to -30 F. (approx. -35 C.). It is recommended for quality juice production in cold Midwestern states, as well as for good jelly, and as a table grape. Bluebell resists most diseases.
