Danlas

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Danlas is a white wine variety . It is a new breed of INRA Montpellier ( Institut National de la Recherche en Agronomie ) between the grape varieties Dabouki x Gutedel. The crossing took place in 1958 by the French ampelographer Paul Truel on the grounds of the Domaine de Vassal, the test winery of INRA Montpellier. Together with the Lival and Ribol varieties , Danlas was part of a program to complement the French range of early-ripening table grapes . Since the variety ripens very early, the risk of frosts in autumn and raw rot is minimized. It has been commercialized since 1976.

So far one clone, the number 499, has been selected.

In France , about 109 hectares of vineyards were planted with Danlas in 1981 . In 2007, 261 hectares were surveyed.

  • Parentage : Dabouki × Chasselas

Ampelographic varietal characteristics

In ampelography , the habitus is described as follows:

  • The cone-shaped grape is medium to large, shouldered and dense berries. The round berries are large and whitish-yellow in color.

The Danlas grape variety ripens approx. 5 - 6 days after the Gutedel and is therefore considered to ripen early for a white grape variety. Danlas drives out early and is therefore endangered by late spring frosts.
