Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is an interspecific hybrid obtained by crossing the Seyval Blanc and Bacchus varieties. The vine is characterized by vigorous growth and upright shoot orientation. Clusters are medium-sized, weighing 200–300 g, typically with a loose structure, which reduces the likelihood of berry rot.

The berries are round and yellow-green in color; the flesh is fleshy and juicy with floral and muscat notes. The ripening period is early to early-mid. The variety is distinguished by high resistance to downy mildew and powdery mildew, which often allows for the avoidance of fungicide applications.

The variety is multipurpose: it is used as table grapes for fresh consumption, for the production of wines and juices, and as an ornamental plant for vertical landscaping. When cultivated, it is prone to excessive yield and requires crop thinning to achieve high quality.
