'Supernova' Seedless Outdoor Grape Vine

  • An exceptional seedless variety, 'Supernova' produces brilliant bunches of dusky red grapes at the end of summer and into early autumn
  • Supernovas are gargantuan cosmic explosions and this grape variety yields fruits that are just as impressive!
  • The vine's ovoid grapes are wonderfully aromatic and possess a delicate, balanced flavour profile that's deliciously moreish
  • Bearing seriously chunky bunches, this variety is perfect for working up pergolas or training up a sunny, south-facing wall
  • Whilst we won't blame you for scarfing down the grapes straight from the plant, this variety is also excellent for making raisins, delectable jams and heavenly clafoutis
  • Hardy and resistant to common fungal diseases, this vine is an excellent option for those gardeners wanting to add a touch of the Mediterranean to their British garden
