Feunate

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Feunate is an autochthonous white grape variety from the Drôme region in France . The late-ripening variety produces low-alcohol, rustic wines with a deep color and pronounced astringency . Feunate is practically no longer grown. The remaining vineyards of about 2 hectares are located near the city of Die . Smaller experimental cultivations are in Canada.

Feunate comes from the Gouais Blanc grape variety . The crossing partner is so far unknown.

Ampelographic varietal characteristics

In ampelography , the habitus is described as follows:

  • The shoot tip is open. It is hairy with white wool and has a crimson tinge. The yellowish young leaves are lightly hairy and spotted bronze (anthocyanin spots).
  • The large leaves (see also the article leaf shape ) are not lobed. The stalk bay is closed like a lyre. The leaf margin is bluntly serrated. The teeth are closely set compared to other grape varieties.
  • The cone-shaped grape is medium-sized (on average 298 grams), winged and dense berries. The elongated berries are medium-sized and weigh an average of 2.9 grams. They are black-bluish in color when fully ripe.

The Feunate grape emerges early and ripens around 20 days after the Gutedel grape and is one of the grape varieties of the late second ripening period (see the chapter in the article grape variety). It is one of the late-ripening varieties. Feunate is a variety of the noble grapevine ( Vitis vinifera ). It has hermaphroditic flowers and is self-fruiting. In viticulture , therefore, there is no economic disadvantage of not having to grow male plants that produce yields.
