Hello, I've got 4-6 grape vine plants on the property in the Willamette valley of Oregon planted by a previous (deceased) owner. They are not well kept or trimmed and have been growing abandoned for several years. But I'm going to change that around come late fall or winter. Build new trellises (the old ones have collapsed) and trim the vines. They are not new, at least 15 years old. Hardy too since they all seem disease free and are still fruiting despite 0 maintenance and two hard freezing winters in a row follow by scorching summers with no rain or watering.
They are growing in the Willamette Valley in an 8b hardiness zone. The grapes have a strong distinctive flavor and are as I assume one would expect significantly acidic and sweet with one or two large seeds.
Though I realize it's probably impossible to narrow it down to a single cultivar, I wonder if it is possible to get it down to a general grouping of cultivars. I haven't had much luck in definitely identifying what cultivar they are by matching the leaves, but I don't have any experience here.
Here are a few photos I took this afternoon from one of the collapsed vines: http://imgur.com/a/zochx
If anyone could identify these I would very much appreciate it. If you need more information or photos I would be pleased to provide.
