Misket Vrachanski

The white grape variety originates from Hungary or Bulgaria. Synonyms are Mirizlivka, Misket Vratchanski, Tvarda Vrazhda Misket, Vrajda Misket, Wrat Chanskii Musket, Wratchanski Misket (Bulgaria); Erzherzog Johanntraube (Austria); Zöld Muskotaly, Pecsi Szagos, Zöld Szagos (Hungary). According to DNA analyses carried out in 2013, it is a presumably natural cross between Coarnă Alba (Pukhliakovsky) x Muscat Blanc. It must not be confused with the variety of the same name, Misket Varnenski. The late-ripening vine is resistant to botrytis. It produces white wines with a pronounced muscat tone and aromas of herbs, flowers and honey. In 2008, the variety was cultivated in Bulgaria mainly in the province of Montana in the northwest and in the province of Varna in the east of the country on 152 hectares of vineyards (ex Wine Grapes). The variety is grown in Hungary under the name Pecsi Szagos in the Szekszard area in very small quantities. In 2016, one hectare of vineyard was designated under this name (Kym Anderson).
