Mauzac Rose
The Mauzac Rose is a white wine that is grown exclusively in the south of France and in the Charente. Although the skin of the berries is reddish to red in color, it is assigned to the white varieties.
The grape variety plays a subordinate role in the production of Armagnac and in the production of brandy wine .
While the Mauzac Rose variety is considered a mutation of the Mauzac , the Mauzac Noir variety does not appear to be related.
Ampelographic varietal characteristics
In ampelography , the habitus is described as follows:
- The tip of the shoot is very hairy with white wool, with a crimson tinge. The young leaves are slightly hairy and yellowish in color.
- The small and thick leaves are usually whole or three-lobed and then hardly curved. The stem bay is closed with the ends overlapping. 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 cone-shaped grape is medium-sized, often shouldered and dense berries. The round berries are medium-sized and bright red in color.
The Mauzac Rose grape variety sprouts late and matures about 20 days after the Gutedel : It is therefore one of the medium-late maturing varieties. It is often attacked by gray mold rot. Against powdery mildew and downy mildew , it is quite resistant.
