🍷 Centennial for wine
Centennial Seedless is primarily a table grape, so it isn’t normally chosen for premium winemaking. It can be fermented for homemade wine, but the resulting wine is generally lighter and less complex than wine made from dedicated wine varieties.
For a Philippine vineyard, Centennial could be an interesting trial variety, but tropical humidity and fungal diseases need careful management.
