Malverina

The white grape variety is a new breeding between the white variety Rakisch x the red variety Merlan. It contains genes from Vitis berlandieri, Vitis rupestris and Vitis vinifera. The hybrid was crossed in the Czech Republic by a team around the breeder Vilém Kraus (1924-2013). Plant variety protection was granted in 2001. Incidentally, the same parents also gave rise to the two varieties Savilon and Vesna. The late-maturing, high-yielding vine is generally resistant to fungal diseases and is therefore considered a PIWI variety. It produces aromatic, full-bodied white wines with aromas of cinnamon and bread crust as well as ageing potential. It was a crossing partner in the new Pinot Nova variety. The variety is cultivated in Moravia. However, no stocks were reported in 2016 (Kym Anderson statistics).
