Vitis 'Catawba'
Vitis 'Catawba', commonly known as the 'Catawba' grape, is an old grape variety prized for its fragrant pink grapes and its versatility in temperate climates. Its vigorous climbing habit, equipped with strong tendrils, allows it to cover trellises, pergolas, and fences in full sun, forming a dense green screen thanks to its deciduous, medium-green foliage that turns yellow in autumn. It produces medium to large clusters of reddish-pink, thick-skinned grapes, containing juicy, sweet flesh with a pronounced fruity flavor and a characteristic slight musky note. Used for both fresh consumption and processing, it is suitable for making rosé, sparkling, or slightly sweet wines. Vitis 'Catawba' is distinguished by its sustained productivity, vigor, and adaptability in well-exposed gardens.
