Fratava

The red grape variety is a new variety between Frankovka (Blaufränkisch) x Svatovavrinecke (St. Laurent). The name was derived from the parent varieties. The cross was made in 1973 in the Czech Republic by the private breeder Lubomír Glos. Fratava was a crossing partner of the new varieties Cerason, Kofranka, Marlen, Nativa and Laurot. The late-maturing vine is susceptible to both types of mildew, but is resistant to botrytis and frost. It produces deep red, aromatic, low-acid red wines with aromas of plums and red fruits reminiscent of St. Laurent. In 2022, 6 hectares were designated.

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.
