Chardonnay Grapevine
Available from 24/06/2025


- Top quality grafted vine producing white winemaking grapes
- Preorder now for delivery from late June onwards
- Ideal gifts for gardeners or wine lovers!
These popular Chardonnay vines are 2-3 year old grafted plants, that are already putting on plenty of strong spring growth. Currently growing on at our Sussex nursery we expect them to be ready for the sale and up the top of their 3ft canes by the end of June and to crop for the first time in 2026.
These vigorous grapevines make great gifts for gardeners and the summer months are a great time to plant them out so they can establish nicely up a sheltered fence or wall.
If you are looking for a vine that will crop this year rather than next then our Phoenix, Regent and Johanniter vines are older vines already in fruit bud.



Great choice of products, delivery and communication were excellent. Delivered product was true to pictures.

Original and unique present, perfect for someone who enjoys their garden and growing fruit and veg

The vine was as described and in good condition

Excellent birthday present

Beautifully presented and packed and a healthy strong vine.

Grape Vines are surprisingly well suited to the UK climate. In the right spot they are vigorous growers and can produce heavy crops of fruit from August to October.
Your grapevine will do best in a sunny but sheltered spot, ideally south facing with shaded or cool roots in summer. Grapevines need to be protected from cold winds, but they are fairly frost hardy and will put on fresh and vigorous leaf growth in the spring. Vines do well in a variety of soils but chalky and silty soils are prized by wine makers for the subtle flavours they add to the wine. Please check the label on your vine for more specific details on grape variety and suitable positions for your vine.
Ideally your grapevine should be transplanted shortly after arrival either into a larger pot or barrel or into the ground. Grapevines can be planted at almost any time of year as long as the ground is frost free. Before planting, submerge the pot in a bucket of water for 10 minutes and add a top dressing of seaweed feed or fish, blood and bone to help it get settled in. If you want to keep your vine in its existing pot for a little longer for whatever reason, it will need regular watering, and will appreciate some ordinary liquid feed.
To get the best fruit from your grapevine, you do need to start pruning it next year. The results are well worth the effort!
Mildew is the greatest problem with grapevines but many of the newer varieties have a good resistance. Mildew is caused by prolonged damp conditions or by irregular watering, if your plant is in a pot try moving it to a sunnier position and always train it to encourage airflow round each branch.Grapevines are deciduous so don"t be alarmed if it drops its leaves over the winter.
Different varieties are better suited to wine making or eating but don"t forget the more sunshine the fruits receive the sweeter the grapes will taste.
