About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
A fungus-resistant (PIWI) red wine grape from German breeding that you can grow in the home garden without a hard spray schedule. The bunches ripen dark blue from mid-September and give deeply coloured juice. The flowers are hermaphrodite, so you do not need a second variety for pollination.
Juicy and full-bodied with a mild sweetness and a delicate muscat aroma; as lovely eaten straight from the vine as it is in red juice.
