Wines made from it are of good quality, with a distinctive, recognizable flavor and moderate acidity. The skin has an abundance of color, which is stable. In hot regions or hot seasons the fruit may sunburn badly. In years of early rainfall it rots badly. The clusters are medium-sized; winged, cylindrical; compact. The berries are of medium size; slightly ellipsoidal; black, with a dull bluish-gray bloom; ripening in early midseason. The vines are of moderate vigor and productivity. On dry hillside soils short pruning is satisfactory; on fertile soils long-spur or cane-pruning may be required. The Petite Sirah is best adapted to the valleys of regions II and III, where good dry table wines may be made from it. Today it is being planted widely in California, especially in the cooler portions of the interior valleys. It is recommended for less fertile soils, where its growth will not be too rank and its fruit will mature early." | 1564008 | PI 113643 |

Per Chadha and Randhawa (see citation): "Muscat blanc would seem to be the appropriate name of this variety. It is descriptive, has been used for many years, and is the most generally used. There are numerous local names, such as those given above, but these have limited geographic application. Two well-known wines of this variety are Musta Frontignan (still), in southern France, an Asti spumanti (sparkling), in northern Italy. This variety has consistently produced the best muscatel wine, wherever it has been grown. Its flavor is pronounced, yet delicate for muscat. The vines are moderate in vigor and productivity. The open character and semi-erect growth of the vines expose the fruit to sunburn the region V. The variety is recommended for planting. Cordon-training with spur-training has been the usual practice, yet short cane-pruning has been the usual practice, yet short cane-pruning may be appropriate for machine harvesting. The clusters are of medium size; conical; well filled to compact; oil-soaked in appearance when mature. The berries are of medium size; round; with a pronounced muscat flavor.

Cluster: large with well-developed lateral branches, fairly compact although often loose due to coulure; berries ellipsoidal, fairly large, 15 to 20mm, attractive blue-black, average skin, juicy pulp with strong muscat flavor, very pleasing. The second most popular table grape in France (after Chasselas), Musat Hamburg has very attractive clusters which ship quite well and keep well on the vine. Its grape juice is also very much appreciated. In order to avoid poor fruit set, shot berries, and poor color, the grower should avoid virus-infected plants and excessively humid soils. A vigorous, productive variety, Muscat Hamburg ripens midseason. It is very sensitive to downy and powdery mildew and should be cane pruned." | 1011050 | DVIT 1059 |

Wines made from it are of good quality, with a distinctive, recognizable flavor and moderate acidity. The skin has an abundance of color, which is stable. In hot regions or hot seasons the fruit may sunburn badly. In years of early rainfall it rots badly. The clusters are medium-sized; winged, cylindrical; compact. The berries are of medium size; slightly ellipsoidal; black, with a dull bluish-gray bloom; ripening in early midseason. The vines are of moderate vigor and productivity. On dry hillside soils short pruning is satisfactory; on fertile soils long-spur or cane-pruning may be required. The Petite Sirah is best adapted to the valleys of regions II and III, where good dry table wines may be made from it. Today it is being planted widely in California, especially in the cooler portions of the interior valleys.
