Ampelographic varietal characteristics
In ampelography , the habitus is described as follows:
- The shoot tip is open. It is only hairy like a cobweb. The green young leaves with bronzed areas are shiny
- The large, medium-green leaves are three-lobed to five-lobed. The stem bay is open in a U-shape. The sheet is serrated to a point. In comparison to the grape varieties, the teeth are set narrow to medium-wide. The leaf surface (also called blade) is smooth or only slightly blistered.
- The cylindrical grape is medium to large in size and has dense berries. The round berries are small to medium-sized and whitish-green in color.
The grape variety that emerges early ripens about 6 days after the Gutedel and is therefore considered to ripen early within the white grape varieties, so that it can also ripen in relatively cool locations.
