Aramon Gris

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Aramon Gris is a very old white wine variety , although its berries are slightly pink. She may be from Spain . Research by Ferdinand Regner , however, suggests a close relationship with the Heunisch family.

Like the Aramon Blanc variety, it emerged 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 and spotted with spider webs.
  • The large leaves (see also the article leaf shape ) are thin and only slightly three-lobed (rarely five-lobed). 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. When fully ripe, they are gray to slightly pink in color.

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 Gris is a variety of the noble grapevine ( Vitis vinifera ).

Synonyms

The Aramon Gris grape variety is also known under the name Szürke Aramon.
