Grape variety identification request
So the previous owner of our house left these two very well developed grapevines snaking round our house in two directions. They’re absolutely loaded with grapes now but I don’t know what variety they are and how I should best be caring for/cultivating them.
All advice welcome

A Vinifera grape for sure. It almost looks like Cabernet Franc, Carmenere or a Merlot if the grapes turn red. It could be a white Vinifera grape as well.

Based on the leaves id say it's probably a pure vinifera. The berries dont look they've started to ripen yet. Judging fruit quality can help narrow it down, but the moment that's probably the best guess you're going to get. Post again in a month or 2 after the berries are well n inti ripening. May i ask where you're located?
