Arriloba

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The white wine variety Arriloba is a new breed of INRA Bordeaux ( Institut National de la Recherche en Agronomie ) Sud-Ouest in southwest France. Under the direction of the Basque Durquéty, the grape varieties Raffiat de Moncade and Sauvignon were crossed in 1954 .

Pierre Marcel Durquety realized a number of new breeds between 1950 and 1980, of which 7 grape varieties received plant variety protection : the 4 red varieties Arinarnoa , Egiodola , Ekigaïna , Semebat and the 3 white varieties Arriloba, Liliorila and Perdea . Arriloba means "the nephew of Pierre" in the Basque language ( Harri means "Pierre" and loba is "the nephew"). Arriloba is a word creation that does not exist in this way in linguistic usage.

In France , about 15 hectares of vineyards are planted with Arriloba. Small areas are also known in Australia . The grape variety results in a fruity wine that is reminiscent of a Sauvignon.

Ampelographic varietal characteristics

In ampelography , the habitus is described as follows:

  • The shoot tip is open. She is hairy white wool. The green young leaves are spotted bronze (anthocyanin spots).
  • The leaves are three-lobed (rarely also five-lobed) and moderately deeply indented (see also the article leaf shape ). The stem bay is open in a U-shape. The sheet is serrated to a point. The teeth are set medium-wide in comparison to the grape varieties. The leaf surface (also called blade) is hardly blistered.
  • The medium-sized grape has a long stem. The round berries are small to medium in size and whitish in color.

Arriloba ripens 15 - 20 days after the Gutedel and is therefore still ripening early. The vigorous variety delivers consistently high yields as the variety is very disease resistant. Arriloba 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.
