Ahmeur Bou Ahmeur - Weintraube und Blatt

The late-maturing vine is sensitive to frost and susceptible to both types of mildew and botrytis. The vine is resistant to dryness and drought and is suitable for hot regions. The variety was a crossing partner in the new Milleniumtraube variety. It is mainly used as table grape but also as a wine grape and was used in Algeria until the middle of the 20th century for mass-produced wines blended with Cabernet Sauvignon. It is cultivated in California (Lodi) under Flame Tokay and the wine is blended with Burger (Monbadon) to produce jug wines. There are other vineyards in Argentina, Chile (0.3 ha), Spain and Portugal. In 2016, however, only the tiny stock in Chile was designated (Kym Anderson).
