Laska (grapevine)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Laska is a very old, probably autochthonous Styrian red wine variety . It is only very rarely planted in some southern Styrian, Slovenian and Croatian vineyards . In the past, plantings were also known in the German cultivation areas of Baden and Württemberg. The vine does not make high demands on its location. The Laska can deliver pleasant, mostly low-alcohol, fruity table wines with a light ruby ​​red color that should be drunk young. Laska is a variety of the noble grapevine ( Vitis vinifera ). It has hermaphroditic flowers and is therefore self-fruiting. In viticulture , the economic disadvantage of not having to grow male plants that produce yield is avoided.
