What are the best grapes to grow in Colorado for making wine? What are the best environmental conditions, and the best vine types suitable for the region?
Last Updated: November 05, 2009
The best, hardiest grapes for Colorado wines are New York varietals. This includes Interlaken, Himrod, Catawba and others listed in the Grape Growers Guide. These will not make the same quality wine as a Merlot or Pinot but they are very nice for table wines, grapes, and for jams and jellies.
