Organic grape harvest starts in Shandong province

"After a year's hard work, our organic grapes from Shandong Wandi Orchard finally welcome their harvest season. This week, the Brix level is around 18, and in a couple of days it will be 20 and then the harvest will start," said Ms Zhang from Wandi Huliu Mordern Agriculture Development & Operation Co. Ltd.

This company owns 66.7 hectares of grape plantations, one fifth of which belongs to the category of table grapes, while others will be used for wine making. "Our table grapes are all organically planted, and naturally ripened, and they have a much better taste than normal table grapes."

"Registered in 2011, our company actually started grape plantation in 2010. In the beginning we failed to reach the organic plantation requirement due to the soil issues. Then we invited a Japanese expert in grape plantation. From the soil cultivation to irrigated water, we stick to the natural way during each process of the plantation of these Japanese grape varieties. We believe that Chinese markets already focus on more healthy and high quality fruits than before, and we believe our grapes fit this trend and win the market."
"Next week we will start to pick the premium table grape varieties that our Japanese experts cultivated: Aiqi, Tianqing, Sunny Rose and Kotopii, including both green and red versions."


Tianqing Grape: this grape variety is medium size and once mature, they will become a transparent golden color. It has very thin skin but very juicy.


Kotopii: This is a pre-mature red grape variety. It comes to the market in Mid-August, and has a very good flavour and a smell of rose fragrance.


Sunny Roseï: one grape spike ranges between 0.6kg to 1.8kg, and its average grape weight is around 8-12 grams, they grow very closely together and have a smell like rose fragrance. Its soluble solids content level is between 20% and 26%.


Aiqi: This is the world's largest red grape variety, with a mature season in early September. This variety has very thick flesh and amazing taste, thanks to its sugar level of 23. It is also a variety that can be stored for a longer period of time.
