Quick Food for thought:
I have learned that grapes can thrive in many different types of soil (Sand, Gravel, Shale, Slate, Clay). Vine growth improved by adding lots of organic matter or compost / Nitrogen. Very rich soil that contains high amounts of organic content can product a really heavy and late-maturing crop. This crop will also have a lower sugar content. Soil with less organic matter will produce smaller yields with high sugar content. These yields will generally come sooner in the year.
