properties
The variety is very productive and robust. It does not place high demands on the soil and should be planted in appropriate locations because of its late ripeness. Then there is also a good color yield. it has a low susceptibility to oidium and botrytis.
Wine
The wine is extremely rich in tannins and, as a young wine, is occasionally plump and strict to aggressive. The wines are only ready to drink after a long period of storage and are then full, strong, acidic, delicately fruity with sometimes pronounced cassis notes. Wines made from pure varietals have a purple-red color, are long-lived and have good development potential.
