Mustang Grape Wine

Jan 26, 2005 2 Replies

Dear group



I'm exploring different grape varieties suited to the Texas hill country around Austin and have read on Jack's site indicating that the mustang grape makes a pretty good wine if processed properly. Anyway, the plant is present on the property I'm trying to buy and figure it certainly has survived what ever challenges are present on that property. My question though is there a source of Mustang Grape wine that I could give it a try? I hate to have a hundred rooted out cuttings without knowing what it's going to taste like. Can it be used as a root stock? Maybe I'd graft a cabernet to it if it didn't work . . .



Thanks, Chris



Contact Jack Keller. I bet he has some.

I live further south and have experimented with Mustang wine. I am not totally happy with what I have made so far but I am still experimenting. One thing I will say, I makes some of the best jelly you ever tasted. And commercial grape jelly is on the absolute bottom of my list. Don't totally blow it off. Do contact Jack and the wine group he is associated with.
