(Wines&Vines) - New winegrape cultivars from Mediterranean varieties are now available from Foundation Plant Services (FPS), the national grapevine importation and clean stock facility at the University of California, Davis. These European “public” cultivars have passed disease testing and can be purchased for commercial planting. At its annual meeting Nov. 2, FPS staff also presented updates on facility improvement projects including the new Russell Ranch Foundation Vineyard funded by the National Clean Plant Network, and plans to break ground on a new LEED silver-certified FPS headquarters building.
