The only seedless table grape variety truly adapted to northern cultivation without winter protection, the ‘Somerset’ vine(vitis sp.) is one of the few cultivated on the coasts surrounding the Baltic Sea, attesting to its high resistance to cold and its commercial potential.
For growing vertically, in pergolas or on arbors, exposed to the cold, this is the most recommended.

The berries are small but numerous in compact bunches, extraordinarily early, with time to gorge themselves with solar sugars, pink-orange when ripe, despite our sometimes short seasons.
Its almost syrupy juiciness, with aromas of strawberries and spices, can be enjoyed fresh or processed, in luxury juices and jams.
Disease-resistant, this cultivar is attractive for ornamental horticulture.
Often drastic, pruning the ‘Somerset’ vine allows edible leaves to be harvested.
Tenderized and salted in brine, they make local vine leaf rolls, traditionally stuffed with seasoned rice.
Hardy hybrid cultivar, crossed with our native shoreline vine, among others.
Self-pollinating.
