The mother plant has only to be old enough to be pruned to produce growable cuttings. Look for 6mm to 10mm canes with 2 to 4 nodes. Smaller cuttings can be started but won't have the reserves to draw on. Two good sites for instructions: http://www.gardenhive.com/fruit/grapes/propagate/stem-cuttings/ How to Propagate Grape Vines. http://www.bunchgrapes.com/cuttings.html Cuttings Do your research now and find a source for cuttings, then go for it in the early spring.
