Ampelographic variety characteristics

  • The shoot tip is open. It is hairy white, with a carmine-red tinge. The yellow-green young leaves are slightly woolly hairy.
  • The small blue-green leaves are thick, usually wholly or slightly lobed. The stalk bay is closed like a lyre. The blade is bluntly serrated. The teeth are medium-sized compared to the grape varieties. The leaf surface is blistered and coarse.
  • The conical to cylindrical grape is small and elongated. The slightly oval berries are small and white-gold in color. The berries are very juicy.

Maturity: matures approx. 15 days after the Gutedel and is therefore still considered to ripen early.

Arbois produces both single-variety and blended wines with Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc . However, it has nothing to do with the wines of the same name from the appellation in the Jura .
