00:00The town of Bawang is also known as the fruit basket of La Union because of the different fruits that are planted here.
00:10One of the delicious fruits is grapes.
00:15But if you think that grapes only grow in cold countries, you are wrong.
00:22Because here in Bawang, La Union, summer is the best time for grape picking.
00:28When we talk about grapes, the first thing that comes to our mind is fruits that can only be found in Europe or in America.
00:37But what many people don't know is that right here in the province of La Union, even in the 1970s,
00:43there are grapes growing and there is a grape farm here.
00:48It's harvest season right now, so look.
00:51They look so beautiful. They are so young, right?
00:55Avelino Lomboy is a farmer and scientist who was one of the first to plant grapes in the Philippines in the 1970s.
01:03Is there a specific kind of grape that can be grown here?
01:07Yes, ma'am.
01:08The red cardinal grape?
01:10Yes, ma'am.
01:11Because this can really be grown in tropical countries.
01:13Yes, ma'am.
01:14I read that even in Thailand and Vietnam, this is also what they plant.
01:18Yes, ma'am.
01:19The red cardinal grapes live on fertile and fertile soil, like the soil of garlic.
01:26The harvest season of grapes is three times a year, but the time when there are the most grapes is every summer.
01:34This one is sweeter.
01:35Yes, ma'am. It depends on the color.
01:38Dark colored grapes are really sweet.
01:43But this one is dark and a bit sour.
01:51It's a bit sour.
01:57This one is sweet.
01:58Yes, it's sweet.
02:01Every summer, about 400 kilos of grapes are harvested here every day.
02:06This is one of the main ingredients used to make sweet wine.
02:13After grape picking, there's wine tasting.
02:16Wine and cheese.
02:17Nice!
02:18So, what kind of wine is this?
02:20Is it different?
02:21Yes, ma'am.
02:22It's not grape anymore.
02:23We have the grapes and we have guapol and shagun fruit, depending on your preference.
02:28Wow!
02:29This is our bestseller, the rosa, which is coming from the red cardinal.
02:34So, this is the red wine.
02:41It's fruity.
02:43It's very fruity.
02:47It's also delicious.
02:48Thank you.
02:49It's very, very fruity.
02:52But I don't drink much, so I prefer the sweet side.
02:58But it's still delicious.
03:01Thank you.
03:02Wow!
03:03Actually, here in La Union, the grapes, guapol, and dragon fruit are considered high-value crops.
03:12So, it's not only delicious to eat as is, but it can also be used as wine, like this.
03:32Thank you.
