In general, the Reb are seedlings ( set wood ) today grafts in which a pad from a phylloxera-tolerant pad grade rice is grafted (small branch) of a noble grape variety. This combines the properties of both grape varieties, in particular the phylloxera resistance of the (American) rhizome with the properties of the grafted (European) noble vines that determine the quality of the wine .

Age

The Great Vine , the largest vine in the world

The biological clock determines the productivity of the vine. The first yield is often only in the third year, until the 20th year it yields abundantly. With increasing age, however, the vine loses its fertility, it begins to produce fewer fruits, but these are often superior to those of younger vines in terms of the concentration of the ingredients. The older a vine, the deeper its roots reach (depending on the type of rootstock), with which it can still draw enough water from the soil even in dry summer periods. Individual vines can be 100 years or older. The Great Vine in the garden of Hampton Court Palace is considered the largest and oldest vine in the world , which was planted in 1768 under the direction of Capability Brown and from which around 300 kg of Black Hamburg table grapes are still harvested annually .
