In the old city center of Maribor, also called Lent, in front of the House of the Oldest Grapevine, grows over 450-year-old Žametovka or Modra kavčina vine variety. It is included in the Guinness Book of Records as the oldest grapevine in the world, which still bears fruit annually.

The Oldest Grapevine was planted by the end of the Middle Ages when the Turks sieged Maribor. It survived despite the wrathful battles around it since it was once part of the city walls. Even the fires in the late Middle Ages could not destroy it, not even the vine louse, which caused most of the vineyards in Europe to wither, nor the allied bombing of the city.

Its descendants grow on almost every continent and in many Slovenian cities and towns. To honor the Oldest Grapevine, several scenic wine roads were created, and numerous wineries in Maribor and its surrounding regions were established.

Grapes

When I couldn't find anything that said "Yes" in the car park opposite the apartments I strolled up to the old super market car park and right at the back found this grape vine.

The grapes aren't ready to eat or they maybe wine grapes, I'm not sure. But I will be going back to find out.

Much better viewed large.

Thank you for your favourites. :O)

A leaf from a grape plant, (Vitis) growing wild, in Upstate South Carolina, May 7, 2016. The leaf was about 2 inches (6 cm) across, I guess. You can see some very tiny fruits, somewhat out of focus, below the leaf. A bunch of grapes, in other words.

Thanks for looking! Isn't God a great artist?

Good morning!

Red wine grapes.

Peering close within the vine, I saw this multicolored grape cluster bathed in the final rays of the sun before it set behind the nearby mountains. This is located in the Santa Lucia Highlands west of Gonzales in the Salinas Valley of California.
