The Vine (Vitis vinifera and V. labrusca) collection was planted in 1992. The collection consists
of 51 accessions, with three replicates of five plants for most varieties. A spacing of 2.5 m x 1.5 m
has been used and the collection covers 0.24 hectares. Some cultivars have been
planted elsewhere, as indicated. Vines are on SO4 rootstock and are trained
according to the double guyot system.
