How many of you have not stopped in any field to pick a good bunch of grapes from the extensive vineyards that we have in Spain? Although the grape is very acidic or has a strange taste and this occurs due to the variety of grapes that are destined to be large and good wines.

The one we can find in the market or the one they sell us at the end of the year. It is of the variety “Muscat” is ideal to eat as is. Because of its sweetness and great fruity flavour, it is the best grape for a snack or for a good dessert.

Now it is impossible to find grapes muscat recently collected, since time has passed ( September ) but it's a great moment to see where we will plant these fantastic vines that will sweeten our lives a little and cool us with their shade in summer.

Vine with grapes

Vines are hardy plants: with a little care they can produce delicious grapes. In my experience, vines grown from seed do not usually live for more than 3 years.

In ” Can Pepitu ”Every year we buy muscat vines to replant a vine that has died, for future shade or for family and friends who dare to have this vine in their homes. But this year, all of you who want to have your vine will be in luck because it will be one of Can Pepitu's star products.

Approximate price: €10 plus shipping costs. ( with all health certifications and resistant to native pests )
