Mustoasă de Măderat

The white grape variety originates from Romania. Synonyms are King Grape, Lampar, Lampar Fardevany, Lampartner, Lampau, Lampor, Lampor Fehér, Mustafer, Mustos, Mustos Beli, Mustosfehér and Stafttraube. The parentage is unknown. It must not be confused with the varieties Frâncușă (Mustoasă de Moldova) or Juhfark (Mustafer), despite seemingly suggestive synonyms or morphological similarities. The name refers to the presumed origin of the Măderat vineyards in western Romania. The late-maturing, high-yielding vine is susceptible to both powdery mildews, but resistant to botrytis and frost down to minus 18 °Celsius. It produces aromatic, very acidic white wines with aromas of citrus, which are very suitable for sparkling wine and brandy production. The variety is mainly cultivated in the area of Minis Măderat (Banat). In 2016, 282 hectares of vines were recorded (Kym Anderson).
