Grape of the variety 'Rondo': current height 60-80 cm
Common name: Grape
Scientific name: Vitis vinifera × amurensis
Family: Vitaceae
Plant history & use
'Rondo' is a very frost-hardy grape variety developed to thrive in northern Europe's climate. It is the result of a cross between the European grapevine (Vitis vinifera) and the extremely hardy East Asian species Vitis amurensis. The variety was developed in the Czech Republic in the 1960s and has become popular for wine growing in colder climates, especially in Denmark, Germany, and Sweden. The grapes are small to medium-sized, blue-violet, and ripen early – often already in August–September in southern Sweden. They have a sweet and aromatic taste, perfect for both fresh consumption and the production of robust red wines with deep color and fruity character. The skins are thin and the grape has high color intensity, which makes it especially valued by winemakers.
Cultivation
'Rondo' is one of the hardiest varieties, able to withstand down to about -25°C. It thrives best in sunny and sheltered locations with well-drained, preferably lime-rich soil. The vines grow vigorously and need support in the form of trellis or pergola. Prune in early spring according to traditional trellis or guyot methods to promote fruit setting. For the best harvest, thin the clusters lightly during summer. Resistant to many common diseases. Avoid overly damp growing sites.
