Narrative
Per Abeloe (see citation):"A selection of Mission. Grape originated from cuttings taken from the Mother Vineyard (Vina Madre) at the Mission San Gabriel Archangel, San Gabriel, CA, it was then moved to Prush Park and donated to the Repository. The "Grapevine Adobe" one block west of the San Gabriel mission on the corner of Santa Anita Ave and Mission Drive, next to the Mission Playhouse, has been torn down, but its mammoth grapevine remains. Extending over an area with a circumference of 100 feet, it has lured the passing generations into its shade, and even today tourists often linger there on hot summer days." Per Munson (see citation): "The old 'Mission Grape' of California clearly shows characteristics of V. girdiana and I am fully of the opinion that it is an accidental hybrid of V. girdiana with V. vinifera. Here (in Texas) it is far more subject to mildew, rot, and cold than most of the vinifera varieties. Its long stringy compound cluster with delicate yellowish-white rachis, and berries with pungent skin are some of the points indicating V. girdiana blood." Per Smart (see citation): "The mission vine of California...comes from a seedling, and Professor Bioletti, a one time viticulture professor at the University of California thought it may be a seedling of Monica, a common Spanish variety."
