Jeff ,

I would assume like all vines Marecal Foch likes well drained soil.
It's a hybrid so they are said to grow better in soil with a little
lower ph between 5.5 and 6.5 but if the soil was between 6.5 and 7.0 I
wouldn't sweat it. I personally like medium to large clustered
varieties. The picking is alot easier.
