Ampelographic varietal characteristics

In the ampelography the habit is described as follows:

• The shoot tip is open. It is spinnwebig to slightly hairy and woolly reddish-brown color. The deep red, glossy young leaves are hairless.
• The small to medium-sized leaves are indented three - or five-lobed and deep. The petiole is lyres - shape up closed. The blade is serrated blunt. The teeth are set moderately dilated in comparison to other varieties.
• The drum-shaped grape is small to medium in size, sometimes winged on one side and loose-. The roundish berries are medium in size and of a yellow-green color that present themselves each sun braungefleckt when fully ripe berries. The berries have a thick skin and have a slight taste of nutmeg.

The grape ripens about 5 -6 days after Chasselas and is therefore applicable in international comparison as early maturing.

The variety is susceptible to powdery mildew, downy mildew and gray mold. Since the Muscat Ottonel prone to strong coulure, the returns are highly variable and extremely insecure.

Due to different leaf descriptions doubted Henry Moog in 1957, whether grown in France and in German-speaking varieties of the same name are in fact identical.
