I have been researching grapes for planting on a 6'W X 6'L X 8'H arbor. I live just West of Houston, Texas in a clay/clay loam soil. The grapes i'm trying to decide between are:
Black Spanish and Champanel. From what i found i really like the Champanel grapes but cannot find any insight on the what type of wine they can produce. I know the balck spanish are used in ports and make a wine much like merlot and cabernet....which really has my attention but they have less diease tollerence than the Champanel.
Also if i can find them there is a clone of Black Spanish called 'Favorite'...anyone heard of this and have any insight on this one as well? I hear it produces more fruit and is has better disease resistance.
Thanks,
Keaton
