Grape Varieties
Concord Grape
The Concord grape is a medium to large size that is deep blue to purple or almost black. They are highly aromatic, tangy and sweet with a unique musky flavor. Concord grapes are a popular choice for wine making because of their high quality and unique flavor.
Concord grapes are grown in many parts of the world, but they are most commonly found in North America. They are also grown in parts of Europe and Asia. The center of the vine will often produce several clusters which will yield about 1 lb of fruit each. Clusters of fully ripe grapes are typically ready to be picked in early fall and will last for a couple of weeks if stored properly in the refrigerator.
There are two main types of the Concord grape that are commonly used in winemaking. The first is called Foxwhelp which has a green skin and produces sweet, slightly acidic juice. The second type is Fameuse which is a deeper shade of blue and has a drier, less sweet and more bitter flavored juice. Both types of grapes can be eaten fresh on their own as a snack or used to make delicious jellies and jams. They can also be used to make wine and grape juice.
