This grape variety is arguably the classic wine grape of Germany, known for producing wines of similar quality to some of the noble grapes of France. It is also grown in France itself. The fruits of this variety ripen late in the season, making it suitable for cultivation under protection, particularly if you intend to encourage the development of 'noble rot'. 'Noble rot' is the result of the fungal infection Botrytis cinerea, which causes evaporation of some of the moisture in the grapes and is desirable for making dessert wines. With its high sugar content, this variety is not only ideal for winemaking but also offers an attractive and sweet eating experience. Embrace the versatility and potential of this grape variety as it provides the opportunity to create fine wines or enjoy the deliciousness of its sweet fruit.The plant's growth rate and size will vary depending on planting position & conditions.
