BLOGTable Grape Cultivation – A Variety of Flavors

October 21, 2024

Table grape vineyards are a vital source of fresh fruit. Grapes are rich in carbohydrates, primarily glucose, making them an ideal choice for a quick energy boost. Unlike grapes intended for wine or juice production, table grapes are meant for direct consumption and typically feature larger berries. Table grapes also contribute to the diversity and richness of local agriculture. They ripen in the fall and come in shades ofwhite, red, and black. Varieties differ in size, shape, and taste, offering consumers a wide range of choices.

Careful Cultivation

To ensure that the grapes are healthy and flavorful, it is essential to follow these guidelines:

  • Variety Selection: Choosing the right grape variety based on the climate and soil is essential for successful growth.
  • Location: Table grapes thrive best in sunny, sheltered locations.
  • Maintenance: Grapevines need year-round care, including watering and fertilizing.
  • Pruning: Regular pruning promotes healthy vine growth.

Additionally, it is important to ensure fertile soil and use proper planting techniques to provide optimal conditions for vine development.

Diversity of Table Grapes

In Prekmurje, a significant wine-growing region in Slovenia, a wide range of table grape varieties adapted to local climate and soil conditions thrive. Varieties such as Plava Jurka, Muscat, Sauvignon, Laški Rizling, and Pinot Noir can be foundin this area. At our dislocated unit in Dolgovaške Gorice, known as Vinotoč Rožman, we focus on maintaining these rich traditions and producing high-quality table grapes. Located in the municipality of Lendava, it features a wine cellar and a tasting room. We pay special attention to planting traditional table grape varieties, contributing to the preservation of wine heritage. Additionally, at the Model Farm in Prekmurje, we are committed to sustainable table grape cultivation with minimal use of chemicals. In the future, the wine cellar in Dolgovaške Gorice will serve as a sales and promotional center, including a store with products from all dislocated units of the Model Farm Prekmurje. We will continue developing our practices and offerings to further contribute to the local community and the preservation of natural heritage.

Table grape vineyards are a key part of agriculture in Prekmurje, providing fresh and flavorful fruit while contributing to the local economy and cultural heritage. With proper care, appropriate planting, and sustainable practices, growers can achieve a bountiful harvest that meets consumer needs.
