Ampelographic varietal characteristics
In ampelography , the habitus is described as follows:
- The shoot tip is open. It is hairy white wool and colored carmine red. The green young leaves are slightly woolly hairy and spotted bronze ( anthocyanin spots ).
- The medium-sized leaves are five-lobed and deeply indented (see also the article leaf shape ). The stem bay is open in a V-shape. The leaf margin is bluntly serrated. The teeth are set closely. The leaf surface (also called the leaf blade) is slightly blistered.
- The conical to cylindrical grape is small to medium-sized, shouldered and dense-berry. The round berries are medium-sized and black and blue in color.
Milgranet sprouts late, often avoiding late spring frosts. The grape variety ripens almost 20 days after the Gutedel . It is therefore considered to ripen early. Migranet is a variety of the noble grapevine ( Vitis vinifera ). It is sensitive to powdery mildew and does not tolerate the heat in the coastal area of the Mediterranean very well.
