Ampelographic varietal characteristics

In the ampelography the habit is described as follows:

• The shoot tip is open. She is hairy white wool. The yellowish- green young leaves are slightly hairy on the leaf surface and bronze mottled ( Anthocyanflecken ).
• The medium to large leaves are five-lobed and medium deep sinuate. The petiole is V-shaped open. The blade is serrated blunt. The teeth are medium in size compared to the varieties.
• The cone-shaped bunch is medium, shouldered and moderately dichtbeerig. The roundish berries are medium in size and of a yellowish-green color. The berry bowl is crisp firmly.

The grape ripens about 20 days after Chasselas and is therefore applicable in international comparison as almost late maturing.
