- Grafted Vines, for delivery to you in April 2011
In the past 26 years I have imported more than 894,000 of the finest
quality grafted vines from the best nurseries in Germany, France and
Luxembourg. Special clones where available and rootstocks (all fully
resistant to Phylloxera) appropriate to the variety, your training system and soil structure / alkalinity.
Vines have double-waxed tops and roots pruned ready for planting.
Comprehensive advice is offered free of charge.
Note: in winter 2009/2010 temperatures in Burgundy and Alsace
dropped to below -22°C, destroying a lot of vines, and damaging many of the buds that have
been used for grafting. Inevitably this will result in a shortage of French varieties for Spring
2011, so early ordering is advisable.
Prices (for the total of all varieties ordered, minimum order 6
vines in total, minimum 3 of any variety):-
6 - 24 vines £2.95 per vine
25 - 149 £2.40
150 - 300 £2.20
301 - 499 £2.00
500 - 999 Euro 1.95
1000 - 1999 Euro 1.85
2000 or more Euro
1.75 - for 2000+ vines I can arrange planting by
laser-guided planting machine, please ask for a special price.
Vines are currently VAT zero rated, but standard rate Vat is charged on the cost of planting.
Where Euro prices are shown, invoices will normally be in Euros but can
be in £ Sterling, converted from Euros at
the 'weighted average' exchange rate obtained when I transfer money to pay
for the vines; the exchange rate as confirmed by my Bank.
Delivery: to your address (or postage and packing) within UK and some EU countries:
6 - 24 vines £9.50, 25 - 100 vines £13.50, 101 - 300 vines £16.50, 301 - 1999 vines £30.00,
2000+ vines no charge.
Payment details: invoiced in November, 100% deposit, payment is not required until end of
February just before I import the vines in March; hence there is no disadvantage in
ordering early. Please confirm your order as early as possible, since
demand for some varieties (Solaris, Rondo, Orion etc) often exceeds the supply.
Late orders may be accepted, even in April.
To place an order: please send an e-mail
to Derek@winegrowers.info listing the vines you wish to buy, with your
address for delivery. I will then e-mail you a confirmation.
Vines are imported in sealed bundles of 25, each bundle having
its own EC Plant Passport. I have DEFRA authorisation to split bundles into smaller
numbers and issue these with 'Replacement Plant
Passports'. It is a 'legal requirement' that all Plant Passports must be kept for at least one year.
Varieties available: are shown on the list below, click on the name for
detailed information about the variety.
The varieties asterisked * are available in small numbers (i.e. less
than 25). This changes as the season progresses, so if you say which varieties and quantities you would like,
with acceptable alternatives, then I will do my best to supply your first choices.
High-stem vines: I can supply these in many varieties, but I have to pay
1.55 Euros more for each vine, so you would need to add this to my prices above.
Organic vinegrowing: I have never come across a nursery who
supplies vines certified as 'organic'; however, since it takes more than 2 years
to produce a crop the Soil Association's 'conversion period' is complete before
there is a crop. You should ask the Soil Association about this, they will give
you full information on their requirements and what chemicals you can use. I've
supplied vines to many customers who've registered with the Soil Association.
