The red grape variety is a new variety between Mavroud (Mavrud) x Pinot Noir. Synonyms are Bouket and Bouquet. There are no relations to the white new varieties Bukettrebe (Germany) or Buketta (Austria). The crossing took place in Pleven (Bulgaria) in 1951. The variety was a crossing partner in the new varieties Dunavska Gamza and Storgozia. The early to medium ripening vine is sensitive to drought, but resistant to Botrytis. It yields spicy, age-worthy red wines with balanced acidity, alcohol and tannin content with cherry aroma. The variety is grown in northern Bulgaria. No stocks were reported in 2016 (Kym Anderson statistics).

There is a vast number of sources on the web where one can acquire knowledge about wine. But none has the scope, timeliness and accuracy of the information in the encyclopaedia at wein.plus. I use it regularly and rely on it.
