  • QUEEN ANNE'S: High yields and very consistent. Need to keep an eye on them for late season blight due to tight bunches. Makes a good wine.

Considerations:
The amount of skin contact, the fermentation temperature, and the use or non-use of oak barrels can have dramatic effect on the style of the finished wine.
