Ampelographic varietal characteristics
In ampelography , the habitus is described as follows:
- The shoot tip is open. It is slightly woolly hairy. The pale green young leaves are only hairy cobwebs and appear puffy.
- The wavy leaves are five-lobed and clearly indented. The stem bay is always closed. The blade is bluntly serrated. The teeth are set very wide in comparison to the grape varieties. The leaf surface (also called blade) is blistered and rough.
- The cylindrical to cone-shaped grapes are medium-sized and have loose berries. The round berries are medium-sized and blue-black in color.
The early growing grape variety ripens about 10 days after the Gutedel and is therefore early ripening within the red grape varieties, so that it can ripen in relatively cool locations. The yield is poor.
Douce Noire Grise is a variety of the noble grapevine ( Vitis vinifera ). It has hermaphrodite flowers and is therefore self-fertilizer.
