Katta Kurgan

The white grape variety originates from Uzbekistan. It is named after the city of the same name in the province of Samarkand. Synonyms are Alicone, Alikon, Alikop, Bomba, Catta Kurquan, Cro Ko Kin, Karchinsky, Katta Kourgan, Katta Korgane, Katta Kurqan and Maska. The ancestry (parentage) is unknown. It is an all-female grape variety. The Russian researcher Dr. Alexander M. Negrul (1900-1971) assigned it to the Proles orientalis group in his vine systematics. It was used in Russia and other Eastern countries as a crossing partner of more than 50 new varieties; most of them table grapes. Among others, these were Helios (2), Mars (2) and Tagui. The late-maturing vine is susceptible to fungal diseases. It is used as a wine grape and table grape. However, no stocks were reported in 2016 (Kym Anderson).

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.
