grape varieties

Vineyard plant classifications

Grape varieties are the distinct cultivated types of grapevine, each producing fruit with characteristic flavors, colors, and growing requirements.

Wine grapes like Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, and Pinot Noir are named on labels to indicate style and taste.

Table grapes for eating include Thompson Seedless and Concord.

A single variety may also be called a varietal, though purists distinguish between the two terms.
