Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is a complex interspecific hybrid obtained from crossing Garnier 15/6 and Muscat de Saint-Vallier. The vine is vigorous and can reach heights of up to 10 meters, which allows it to be used for landscaping. Bunches are loose, weighing 200–400 g; berries are large, rounded, and nearly black in color.

The variety ripens in the first half of September and possesses good sugar accumulation of up to 21 Brix. It is characterized by high resistance to downy mildew, powdery mildew, and frost resistance down to -25...-28°C. Shedding of ovaries and damage to the crop by wasps or birds are possible; the variety requires crop thinning to prevent berry size reduction.

The purpose of the variety is universal: fresh consumption, production of juices, and red muscat wines. Due to the decorative qualities of the vine, it is often used for decorating gazebos and pergolas.
