This variety has stumped our efforts to identify it, but it’s so worth growing we’ve named it after its home near Dutch Flat, CA. The vine, now growing up fir and cedar trees on an old homestead, produces numerous clusters of delectable red seeded grapes, perfect for fresh or juice. Nearly immune to powdery mildew, the scourge of most grapes. Large red berries, medium size clusters are firm, complex, very flavorful and sweet. The seeded grape is great for fresh eating, jellies, juice, wine and vinegar. Yum! Ripens in late August to September at 3100'.
