Queen of the Vineyard Grapes

Queen of the Vineyard (aka Skolokertek Kiralynoje) A white variety bred in Hungary. Ripens as much as 6 weeks before Concord. The berries have firm flesh and a light muscat flavor with overtones of rose petals. The normal clusters are not unusually large, but by thinning the crop carefully at bloom time, the remaining clusters can be two or three times normal and are quite handsome. This kind of thinning is rather labor-intensive for commercial production, but can be fun for a home grower to try. Train the vines to cordons with spurs.
