Mustang grapes grow all over the Hill Country and are sometimes hard to tame! The vines will grow to cover anything that stands still too long! They put out runners 300 feet long and the main trunks of the vines grow as thick as trees. The grape itself, larger than other grape varietals, tastes just awful right off the vine because of its high level of acid. But along toward the end of June when they’re ripe, you’ll find Hill Country folks gathering them up to make Mustang Grape Wine and jelly, both of which do wonders to turn the acidic grapes into some mighty fine eating and drinking!
