Aramon Blanc
Aramon Blanc is a very old white grape variety . She may be from Spain . Research by Ferdinand Regner , however, suggests a close relationship with the Heunisch family.
Like the Aramon Gris variety, it originated as a mutation from the Aramon variety .

Ampelographic varietal characteristics
In ampelography , the habitus is described as follows:
- The shoot tip is open. It is slightly hairy with white wool. The young leaves are hairy like a cobweb and spotted yellow.
- The large leaves are thin and only slightly three-lobed, rarely five-lobed (see also the article leaf shape ). The stem bay is open in a V-shape. The leaf margin is serrated to a point. The teeth are closely set compared to other grape varieties.
- The cylindrical to cone-shaped grapes are very large (mostly 400 - 600 grams in weight, occasionally up to 1 kg), shouldered and with dense berries. The round berries are large (3.6 grams on average). They are whitish-yellow in color when fully ripe.
The Aramon Blanc grape variety ripens around 25 days after the Gutedel and is therefore considered to ripen late internationally for a grape variety. The variety is considered to be very productive.
Aramon Blanc sprouts early and is therefore at risk from late spring frosts. It is not very sensitive to the fungal disease powdery mildew , but very sensitive to downy mildew , eutypiosis and gray mold rot .
While the yields on barren slopes are as low as 50 to 70 hl / ha, it can rise to 250 to 400 hl / ha in fertile plains. Aramon Blanc is a variety of the noble grapevine ( Vitis vinifera ). It has hermaphroditic flowers and is therefore self-fruiting. In viticulture , the economic disadvantage of not having to grow male plants that produce yield is avoided.
Synonyms
