This is a rarely cultivated grape, but a winemaker likes to grow a small row of this very powerful wine due to its very dark color and high tannin content. A slow-ripening wine (preferably in barrels), which is a godsend for people with less taste (Corona!) but is also often used to enhance the flavor and color of other wines (cuvée). It is a cross between Cabernet Sauvignon x Blaufränkisch (= Blauer Limberger).
You can expect a large yield from this disease-resistant variety, and they also cope very well with cold. This could well become a famous wine for aging; the expectation is that it will only get better after several decades.
Growing grapes outdoors is the dream of many garden owners, isn't it?! Unlike the disappointing varieties 'Witte van der Laan' and 'Rembrandt', we offer a selection of tasty, mostly disease-resistant varieties, extensively tested in our climate.
Grapes can be susceptible to fungi, such as powdery mildew, downy mildew, botrytis, and black and red spot disease. Some varieties are almost completely resistant, others have partial resistance or a very high resistance to fungi. With a few sprays in the spring with organic remedies (see our chapter on organic crop protection), these can be kept very healthy.
WE CAN ONLY PURCHASE MOST VARIETIES ONCE A YEAR (IN NOVEMBER OR MAY). DELIVERY TIMES CAN THEREFORE BE LONG.
