The white grape variety is a new variety between Muskat Ottonel x Prachttraube. Synonyms are Moravian Muscat, Mopr (after the first letters of the parents), Mopr Blanc, Moravský Muskát and Moravian Muscat. The cross was made in Czechoslovakia in 1987 by Václav Křivánek (1927-2009). The early ripening vine is susceptible to botrytis. It yields floral, rather low-acid white wines with muscat tones. The variety became the most widespread new variety in the Czech Republic, where it is cultivated on 351 hectares, especially in the Moravian growing region Slovácká. In Slovakia, it is cultivated on 163 hectares. These values are from 2010, no more stocks were reported in 2016 (Kym Anderson).

The Wine lexicon helps me to keep up to date and refresh my knowledge. Thank you for this Lexicon that will never end in terms of topicality! That's what makes it so exciting to come back often.
