Know The Grapes We Grow - Pheonix

Phoenix is a green-skinned grape used in the production of white wines and table grapes in England and Germany. The variety was bred for its disease-resistance in 1964, in Pfalz, Germany, from a crossing of Bacchus and Seyval Blanc. Interestingly, Phoenix is classified as a Vitis vinifera grape, despite the hybrid parentage of Seyval Blanc.

As a wine, Phoenix is quite aromatic, with Muscat-like qualities, elderflower and herbaceous notes. It has large, tightly packed bunches and is a productive variety that needs minimal human intervention.
