Product Details

We have yet to positively identify this vine by variety, but it is well worth our offering as it is an outstanding seeded, large berried, blushed, purple, multi-purpose grape, excellent for fresh eating, juice, jellies and wine making. Beautiful large bunches ripen in September and early October in Nevada City at 2500’ on an old homestead full of Gillet plants. Highly resistant to powdery mildew, this vine is never sprayed and produces remarkably clean fruit annually.

The mother vine grows on an old homestead in Nevada City, Nevada County, CA, less than one mile for Gillet's Barren Hill Nursery. Nevada City, the Queen of the Northern Mines, was once the capitol of Nevada, and one of the biggest and most successful mining towns, hosting thousands of miners in the 1800's. Gillet opened a barber shop here in 1853, started the nursery in the mid 1860's and opened it to the public in 1871. He grew there for more than 35 years before his passing, when Charles Parsons took over and guided the nursery, then renamed the Felix Gilet Nursery, until 1968, when it was the oldest nursery in California. We have located many of Gillet's plants n this still thriving Gold Rush era town.
