List of grape varieties

Bouvier is a white wine variety that is mainly grown in the Austrian Burgenland . The grapes ripen early. The wine is low in acidity , has a light nutmeg aroma and ripens early and is often used to produce young or predicate wines.

In Germany it is listed under the synonym "Foundling" in the cultivation statistics.

origin

The Bouvier grape variety was bred by the banker and landowner of the same name, Clotar Bouvier (1853–1930), on his estate in what is now the Slovenian Herzogenberg ( Hercegovščak ) near Oberradkersburg from the Pinot and Yellow Muscat varieties. The grape variety spread in what was then Austria-Hungary through the sale of cuttings .

Ampelographic features

  • The shoot growth is medium strong.
  • The leaf is medium-sized and has three to five lobes.
  • The grape is small to medium-sized, has loose berries and has medium-sized berries with a thick skin and a nutmeg flavor. Berries have a high sugar content.

Ripe: The grapes ripen very early - August.

Yield

The yield is low to medium and irregular. Compared to other varieties, the grapes have a low must yield.

Expectations

The Bouvier variety requires deep, light to medium-heavy, nutrient-rich soils and a good water supply. The lime content of the soil should not be too high. Regarding the location, the variety can also be cultivated in late-ripening locations.

Wine

The wines are low in acidity and have a fine nutmeg aroma. Young wines ripen very quickly, but also age earlier as a result.

The grapes are often used for the Austrian specialty Sturm , a cloudy, partially fermented must (see also Federweißer ), or processed into early-ripening young wines. With appropriate care, the grapes are also suitable for the production of sweet wines , for which a high sugar content is required. Predicate wines from Bouvier are mainly produced around the Neusiedlersee .

distribution

The variety is mainly represented in Austria, with 216 hectares comprising around 0.7% of the total area under vines. The worldwide cultivation area of ​​Bouvier in 2010 was 250 hectares. The variety is also represented in Slovenia , Hungary and Slovakia , although it plays a subordinate role in these countries. In Germany it is listed under the synonym "Findling" in the cultivation statistics.
