Laurot

The red grape variety (also MI 5-106) is an interspecific new variety between Merlan x Fratava. It contains genes from Vitis rupestris, Vitis berlandieri and Vitis vinifera. The hybrid was crossed in 1995 in the Czech Republic by a team around Vilém Kraus (1924-2013). The same parents also produced the four new varieties Cerason, Kofranka, Marlen and Nativa. Plant variety protection was granted in 2004. The medium-maturing vine is resistant to downy mildew and botrytis, and moderately resistant to powdery mildew. It produces dark-coloured red wines with moderate acidity and tannin content, as well as aromas of wild cherries and plums. It is grown in Moravia in the Czech Republic; however, no stocks were reported in 2016 (Kym Anderson statistics).
