Fruit harvest

Given in thirds of a month (early / mid / late) for the northern hemisphere in a temperate climate; altitude and season shift them.

Small, tightly packed, blue-black seeded berries with thin skins.

Early ripening, demanding and fragile; needs cool sites and careful handling.

Wine grape for fine reds and blanc-de-noirs sparkling wines.

Botrytis- and mildew-prone due to compact bunches.
