Description

The 'Ampelia Aladin' vine is a vigorous variety and highly fertile. It produces large clusters of round berries, with a beautiful black-blue colour. Their pulp is juicy and sweet. This is a table grape that is harvested from mid-September to October, depending on the region. The 'Ampelia Aladin' vine is highly resistant to fungal diseases and well-suited for amateur gardens.

The wine grape (Vitis vinifera) grew wild over 5000 years ago. Its cultivation in France was introduced by the Romans. Numerous hybrids have been created to vary colours, flavours, and uses. The 'Ampelia Perdin' vine is a black table grape, an interspecific hybrid of the vitis genus, created by INRA Bordeaux. It resulted from a cross-breeding: '7489 INRA Bdx' (direct white producer hybrid) x 'Muscat de Hambourg'. It was obtained in 1979.

A vigorous climbing shrub, the 'Ampelia Aladin' vine can reach up to 5m (16ft). Its final shape depends on the pruning performed. It is indifferent to soil type and prefers a dry and rocky soil. The vine can cling to its support (trellis, espalier, etc.) thanks to its tendrils and thrives in sunny locations. Highly disease-resistant, this variety is well-suited for amateur gardens due to its minimal need for treatments. Its foliage is finely cut, with a deep green colour in summer and turns to a beautiful gold in autumn. Its flowering in clusters occurs in April, with small white-pink flowers. Its table grapes, in large clusters, ripen around mid-September, depending on the region. The round grapes have a beautiful black-blue colour. Their pulp is juicy and sweet.

Grapes can be consumed as fresh table fruit, as well as in jams, jellies, fruit juice, pastries, and of course, as wine.

Planting and care

Since the ravages of phylloxera in the late 19th century, grape vines are obligatorily grafted onto different rootstocks, resistant to this disease and adapted to different types of soil. These rootstocks come from American varieties. Plant the 'Ampelia Aladin' vine in the autumn, in a deep, well-drained soil—even stony, arid, poor and chalky substrates—in a well-exposed site, sheltered from strong winds. Incorporate 3 or 4 handfuls of fertiliser for fruit trees and 2 kg of composted manure for each plant into the soil. The roots should not come into contact with the manure. After planting, prune above 2 large buds to encourage the growth of two branches. Keep the most vigorous one, and tie it to a stake. The training pruning will follow.

The vine does not require regular fertiliser application for good yield. On the contrary; enrich the soil with potash slag, crushed horn or iron chelate, only every 2-3 years.

Care

Pruning instructions Training pruning: the vertical cordon is the simplest to use when covering a facade or a high wall. Keep a vertical leader on which secondary branches will be allowed to grow every 20 cm (8in). Extend the cordon by a height of 50 to 60 cm (20 to 24in) each year. To obtain a bilateral cordon (with two arms), select two opposite buds that will be individually trained into diverging cordons. Fruiting pruning: the vine blooms on the shoots of the current year, carried by the branches of the previous year. For abundant fruiting, the stems need to be renewed each year. Pruning green material is recommended in May-June, in the form of bud removal.
Pruning Pruning recommended once a year
Pruning time February to March, May to June
Soil moisture Dry
Disease resistance Very good
Overwinter Can be left in the ground
