I have an 70 year-old Niagara grape vine that produces regularly and has been trouble free until this summer.
I live on the western slope of the Continental Divide in Colorado, in a small town named, Rifle, at about 6000 feet. It is semiarid in climate, but we had an unusually wet spring. The photo below shows a photo of the fruit. The problem seems to be more prevalent with the fruit that is one the west end of the vine receiving more intense afternoon sun. I have tended this vine and made wine from it for almost 13 years and have not seen this before. If someone would give me some direction I would appreciate it. Thanks.
