Champanelle Grape Vine

Champanelle Grape Vine

The Champanel Grape Vine is a hardy American hybrid known for its resistance to pests and diseases, particularly in the humid Southern U.S. This fast-growing vine produces clusters of deep purple, seeded grapes with a juicy, tangy flavor that’s excellent for juice, jelly, or fresh snacking.

This grapevine is perfect for trellises, arbors, or fences, offering ornamental value as well as fruit. It tolerates heat, drought, and heavy clay soil, making it ideal for low-maintenance vineyards or edible landscapes.
