Growing & Harvest
In the Aegean region, vineyards are typically trained on wire trellis systems, which let the bunches catch the sun and improve air circulation, supporting berry size and color development. The hot, dry summers and well-drained soils of Izmir and Manisa provide favorable conditions for table grapes. Harvest is done by hand, based on the sugar content and color development of the berries in each bunch; because grapes do not continue accumulating sugar after picking, harvesting at the right stage of ripeness is critical for flavor and shelf life.
Uses & Applications
Most table grape varieties are grown for fresh consumption; some seedless and local varieties are also dried into raisins or processed into grape molasses and grape juice. Cold-chain storage after harvest plays an important role in preserving bunch freshness and berry firmness.
