About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
The traditional vineyard peach of the German wine growing regions, smaller and more tart than the supermarket varieties, but robust and vigorous in growth. The red veined flesh does not ripen until September and tastes tart and aromatic with a winey acidity. This seedling origin is astonishingly tolerant of peach leaf curl. Self fertile; ideal for jam, liqueur and brandy.
Red fleshed, tart and winey, raw an experience for enthusiasts, cooked and distilled a regional speciality.
