Per Galet (see citation): "DESCRIPTION: Growing tip: downy, white. Young leaves: cobwebby, shiny with bronze patches. Leaf: medium, orbicular 036-2-58, slightly 3-lobed 21, smooth, thin, shiny, clear green, flat, nearly glabrous or faintly pubescent depending on the clone; petiolar sinus V-shaped, more or less open; teeth pointed, narrow. (Leaves of the waterspouts may be deeply lobed). Shoot: clear green, shiny, glabrous; tendrils small, thin, green. Cane: pale pink with dark brown nodes, bloom especially abundant on the nodes. Cluster: medium, compact, cylindrical, slightly winged; berries black, somewhat oval, medium. APTITUDES: Despite being banned in Burgundy by Philippe the Hardi in 1395, Gamay stayed on in the area to provide the everyday table wine. It is best known for its leading role in Beaujolais where it produces the popular, bright red, light wines (from 8 to 11 percent without chaptalization). Gamay is used in other regions as well to produce agreeable, fruity roses. It is classified recommended everywheree in France except the Midi, Gironde, and Alsace. It is a vigorous, productive variety which ripens early and is thus grown in the more northern or higher altitude areas. Early budbreak exposes it to spring frosts, but the secondary buds are fertile and capable of furnishing a small crop. While generally spur pruned, it may be cane pruned in fertile soils. It is grafted on Vialla in the granite soils of Beaujolais and 3309 C, 5 BB, and 420 A elsewhere. Gamay is sensitive to all the fungus diseases and requires a careful spray program." | 1564053 | PI 391451 |

Leaf: orbicular 135-3-46. Shoot: thick, ribbed, prominent nodes, reddish on both sides. Cane: smooth, clear beige, darker nodes, no bloom. Cluster: medium, fairly loose; berries small 10-12mm, round, black, pulpy. Generally known for its cultivation in the Bordeaux region, Malbec is also grown in the Loire Valley and the Southwest. It is a moderate producer whose wine is rich in tannin and color and, while less aromatic than the Cabernets, is softer and may be drunk younger. In the Loire Valley, it is blended with Gamay and Cabernet franc or vinified alone to produce fruity, rose wines. In the Mediterranean regions, it may be used to soften the wines of Carignane. Budbreak is early and maturity is very early. The leaves turn partially red in autumn. Moderately vigorous, its chief cultural defect is coulure; to increase the fruit set it is often cane pruned on weak rootstocks, principally Riparia Gloire and 420A. It must have a sufficient crop load from the beginning to prevent over-vigorous wood development. Malbec is sensitive to downy mildew, botrytis, and phompsis, but has some resistance to powdery mildew. It is very tender, easily injured to low winter temperatures." Information taken from http://www.wine-lovers-page.com/wineguest/wgg.html: "The vine is widely planted in Argentina where it is being used to produce very popular varietal wines. (It is now thought that the variety known as Fer in that country is actually a Malbec clone). As a varietal it creates a rather intense, inky, red wine so it is also commonly used in blends, such as with Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, to create the renowned red French Bordeaux 'claret' blend." | 1564005 | PI 173270 |

Young leaves: downy, bullate, reddish-yellow, five lobed. Leaf: medium, orbicular 035-2-58;...lateral sinuses 64....; clear green, soft, contorted, webby tufts below or pubescent depending on the clone; petiolar sinus lyre-shaped more or less closed; teeth pointed, very narryow. Shoot: ribbed, clear green, glabrous, large tendrils. Cane: clear pale beige or pale pink with abundant bloom, dark brown nodes; large buds with white bud down. Cluster: large, cylindrical-conical, compact; berries ellipsoidal, large, blue-black, bloomed; firm skin and pulp. Growth habit: spreading. A productive, moderately vigorous variety, Cinsaut has nearly doubled its acreage in France since 1958 as growers are trying to improve the quality of Medterranean region wines. Cinsaut is considered to add softness and bouqet and blends well with Grenache and Carignane. Budbreak is late and maturity is mid-season. Trials in southern France have shown that production is more regular on vines with high trunks than those with low ones because there seems to be less coulure (poor fruit set). For hillside vineyards where quality and early ripening are desired, it is better to graft on less vigorous rootstocks such as 3309C or 44-53M. On the Berlandieri-rupestris varieties, the vines are too vigorous and the grapes remain red. In other locaitons, Cinsaut may be grafted on 99R, 110R, Rupestris St. George, and SO4. The yield is influenced by the health of the wood also since infectious degeneration (fanleaf virus) can greatly limit production. Cinsaut is sensitive to downy and powdery mildew and botrytis, and it has a tendency to drop its berries at maturity. It is severely affected by yellow spider mitees, and the clusters are very susceptible to the grape berry moth. On the other hand, in Algeria it showed some resistance to very hot, dry conditions." | 1256740 | PI 344094 |

Leaf: medium, orbicular 035-2-57, generally entire 21, but may become deeply lobed on water sprouts or infertile vines; dark green, thick, extremely bullate, concave, faintly cobwebby below, petiolar sinus lyre-shaped with narrow or overlapping edges; teeth convex, average. Shoot: green with pinkish nodes and several brown streaks; thick, medium tendrils. Cane: pale pink with dark brown nodes, grayish bloom covering the whole cane. Cluster: small, 7 to 10 cm, cylindrical, compact; berries slightly oval, blue-black, thick skin, bloom. APTITUDES: Pinot noir is an old French variety often portrayed in the paintings and frescoes of old churches. It is a noble variety which makes the famous red wines of Burgundy and a part of the sparkling white wines of Champagne. A delicate plant, it requires good care for regular production of its small clusters. The special characters of its wine is lost in hot, dry conditions. Because of its early ripening, Pinot noir has a wide range of adaptability. However, but budbreak is also early, making it more susceptible to spring frost. It is tender to cold during the winter, and cold weather during bloom will result in poor fruit set. The compact clusters are subject to botrytis and, due to the presence of virus diseases, great caution must be taken in selecting wood for propagation. In the lime soils of Champagne, Pinot is grafted on 41 B and 161-49, and elsewhere (Burgundy) on 3309 C, 5 BB, and SO 4." | 1564051 | PI 312435 |

Per Galet (see citation): "Originally from southern Russia. DESCRIPTION: Growing tip: open, cobwebby, yellow. Young leaves: shiny, glabrous, yellowish-green with bronze patches. Leaf: medium, orbicular-reniform 025-2-46, lateral sinuses 31 to 53 very narrow, clear green, smooth, dull, thick, concave glabrous below; petiolar sinus lyre shaped more or less closed; teeth pointed, small very narrow. Shoot: very ribbed, clear green with faint red streaking in sun, glabrous. Cane: straw yellow to clear orange brown with darker streaking and nodes, rather abundant bloom covering. Cluster: fairly large 15 to 20 cm, conical, loose; berries very large 30 by 20mm, ellipsoidal or olive shaped, attractive blue-black, thick, skin, fleshy pulp, firm, neutral flavor. APTITUDES: Due to its very late ripening, Olivette noire is limited to the hottest regions of France. It is the last black grape on the market and the olive shaped berries with their abundant bloom are most attractive to the consumer. It is considered to a "luxery" variety. Since it is not very fertile and the clusters are sometimes rather short, cane pruning and a vigorous rootstock (Berlandieri rupestris) are advised. While it has some resistance to phomopsis, botrytis, and the grape berry moth, it is sensitive to downy mildew and winter cold. Care should be taken to avoid plants infected with fanleaf virus. Production is often irregular. Olivette blanche is not a white form of Olivette noire." | 1208343 | PI 279502 |

The vines are very vigorous and productive. Chenin blanc should do well with head or cordon-training and cane-pruning, which would spread the fruit and tend to reduce bunch rot. The clusters are large medim; long conical; compact; with a thick peduncle, medium to long. The pedicels are of medium size, with brown warts (lenticels). the berries are medium; oval; with tough skins. the canes are semi-erect; medium large with medium short internodes. The leaves are of medium size; gray-green; 3 and sometimes 5-lobed; slightly hairy above and medium tomentose below; with red veins, reddish petioles, and petiolar sinus medium to closed." Per Galet (see citation): "Growing tip: felty, white with rose margin. Young leaves: downy above, felty below, bronze patches. Leaf: orbicular 025-2-58. Shoot: glabrous, mahogany red on side exposed to sun, with brown streaks on the back; long, thick, red tendrils. Cane: clear beige with darker nodes. Cluster: medium, 15-20cm long, fairly compact, conical, with one or two wings; berries oval, 10-12mm, firm golden-yellow at maturity. Chenin blanc is known to have been growing in 845 A.D. on the left bank of the Loire in Anjou at the Abbey of Glanfeuil. Its present name dates from around the fifteenth century from Mont-Chenin in the Touraine region, and it is cited by name in the literature of Rabelais. The wine is very fruity with a lot of bouquet and in good years is worth aging. It generally contains some residual sugar since it lends itself to slightly sweet (or very sweet dessert wines) rather than dry wines. In addition it is oftenn made into sparkling wine, as in Vouvray, for example. Early budbreak exposes it to spring frosts. Maturity is midseason; sensitive to downy and powdery mildews, botrytis, and the grape berry moth | 1563998 | PI 277331 |

This variety came from a seed or selection of Peloursin and was propagated around 1880 by Dr. Durif. It is not at all a Pinot and its name 'Plant Fourchu' comes from the presence of numerous fasciated shoots (generally an indication of virus disease). Considered by some to have resistance to downy nildew, it was fairly widely planted. However, the wine is ordinary and Durif is now authorized in only a few departments. There exist a Durif gris and a Durif blanc." Information taken from http://www.wineloverspage.com/wineguest/wgg.html: "Well known variety grown in France, California, and Australia. A recent DNA analysis report (Meredith C.P. et al., 'Am. J. Enol. Vitic.' 50(3): 236-42 1999) shows this variety is possibly a cross between a seedling of Peloursin and the Syrah varieties. The recent discovery that the Petite Sirah variety extensively planted in California is identical to, and so is a synonym name for, the subject cultivar was complicated by the use of accessions from vineyards with the most reliable planting records which made it appear that the latter variety may also have been one of several other distinct varieties, all having grower supposrt for the claim of legitimacy. Old vine plantings of Durif are currently (1997) found, and used to produce popular wine, in the Rutherglen (N.E. Victoria) region of Australia." | 1564001 | PI 173264 |

Although generally spur-pruned, it may not be cane pruned if the number of buds left is not excessive. It is a productive variety which requires fertile soil and careful pruning to avoid early decline. Budbreak is fairly early and maturity is early midseason. The foliage turns completely red in the fall. Alicante Bouschet is sensitive to downy mildew (the translucent spots on the leaves have a red tint) and to anthracnose but, like Aramon, has some resistance to powdery mildew.

Cane: medium, 10 to 12 cm, cylindrical, pincone-like (compact); early maturing, woody peduncles; berries oval, small, blue-black, abundant bloom, juicy, sweet. Cultivated since Roman times in the nothern Cotes-du-Rhone, Syrah is a noble variety which produces the great wines of the Hermitage region as well as being among the varieties grown for Chateauneuf-du-Pape. The wine, which has a violet aroma, is rich in body, tannin, and color and needs to be aged in order to develop its full character. The Syrah is a low yielding variety which loses its noble qualities when the production is forced. French growers distinguish between the petite Syrah and the grosse Syrah, the latter being more fertile, more vigorous, and producing wine of lesser quality. Budbreak is fairly late and maturity is midseason. It is very sensitive to drought and the shoots break in extremely windy conditions. The clusters are susceptible to botrytis and the grape berry moth while being somewhat resistant to powdery mildew. Attention should be paid to the health of the wood used for propagation due to virus infection. The leaves redden on the edges in autumn." | 1150562 | PI 173295 |

Per Galet (see citation): "DESCRIPTION: Growing timp: felty, white with rose margin, shephard's crook; stem downy. Young leaves: felty, yellowish, bullate. Leaf: orbicular 136-3-58, lateral sinuses 33 to 53 large, thick, contorted, bullate, uneven surface with concave edges, downy below; petiolar sinus more or less closed; teeth convex, average.

Cluster: very large, winged, cylindrical, very long and narrow, 20-30 cm, peduncles woody at base; berries medium, round, golden yellow, becoming more or less amber when exposed to sun. Growth habit: upright. APTITUDES: This originally Italian variety is a very vigorous, regular producer which is now the most cultivated white grape in France. It is recommended in all the south of France fro white wine and in Charente for Cognac brandy. In Southern France it is called Ugni blanc, but in the Cognac region it is called St. Emilion. Budbreak is late, protecting it from spring frost and maturity is very late. In the Midi, Ugni blanc ripens satisfactorily and produces, for example, the pale yellow wines of Provence; in Charente, the sugar is lower and the acid higher as is appropriate for brandy production. St. Emilion adapts to many different training systems. It should not be planted in extremely windy areas since the young shoots are easily broken off. Very sensitive to downy mildew and the grape berry moth, it has some resistance to powdery mildew, phomopsis, and especially botrytis, which has added to its popularity. When planted on its own roots in sandy soils, it is very sensitive to nematodes and it is very tender to cold winter temperatures. Depending on the soil conditions, it is grafted on Rupestris, 41 B and 161-49, or secondarily on SO 4, 99 R, and 100 R." Per Barron (see citation): "FRUIT.--Bunches of the very largest size, with broad, strong shoulders, and thick stalks, compact , and always well set. Berries medium-sized, roundish-ovate, on stout foot-stalks. Skin greenish yellow, changing to pale amber when well ripened, tough and thick. Flesh firm, yet juicy, sweet, and pleasant, but lacking richness, excepting when very highly ripened. CULTURAL NOTES.--Being of strong growth, this Grape requires considerable space to develop properly; and although it fruits freely along with Black Hamburgh, it well repays treatment similar to Muscats. The late Mr. Gilbert of Burghley, who was one of the best cultivators of the Trebbiano we know, gave plenty of time and plenty of heat to ripen it thoroughly, the berries keeping sound until March and April, and being then very rich." | 1150564 | PI 173303 |

There are many secondary clusters on the lateral shoots, especialy after summer pruning. Growth habit: upright...Carignane is a vigorous varitey whose upright growth habit allows it to be grown without a trellis. If it is cane rather than spur pruned, special care must be taken to avoid overcropping. Budbreak is late and maturity is late, limiting its cultivation to southern regions with long growing seasons". Per Unknown source: "[Carignan] was first isolated around the town of Carinena in the province of Aragon in northeast Spain...The thick skinned Carignan produces deep-coloured wines, relatively high in alcohol, extract and tannin...Soils: performs relatively well on very fine and poor soils. Vigour: very high on very fertile soils. Pruning: Usually very generous. Its upright growth precludes the need for trellising. Cane pruning may lead to overcropping. Secondary crops are common on shoots. Susceptibility: high, especially to fungus diseases.

Growth habit: vigorous, climbing. 1. Felty, rose-rusty growing tip. 2. Truncate, waxy, crimped leaf, resembling a cabbage leaf. APTITUDES: Some common names for V. aestivalis are Common blue grape, Bunch, Pigeon, Rusty, Chicken, Summer, Sour, Little, Swamp, Duck-sho, and Winter grape. Budbreak is at the beginning of April; bloom is fairly late, in mid-June; and leaf fall is in mid-November. V. aestivalis is of no interest as a rootstock because its resistance to phylloxera is only fair (9/20); it is sensitive to lime and its roots very poorly if at all. The leaves are free of phylloxera galls and it has a good resistance to downy and powdery mildews. According to Loomis, it also has a very good resistance or tolerance to Pierce's disease. Owing to the relatively large size of its berries (compared with other native species) and its good resistance to disease, V. aestivalis has numerous commercially successful descendants. The proliferation of descendents is in part due to Jaeger 70, a rupestris-Lincecumii cross which is in the first generation of many of the Seibel and Couderc hybrids (Seibel 1000, Couderc 7120). Herbemont and Black Spanish (Lenoir), natural descendants of aestivalis, were grown in France after the phylloxera crisis and are grown commercially today in Texas. Cynthiana and Norton, natural hybrids of Labrusca and aestivalis, are grown commercially in Missouri and Arkansas.

Budbreak is at the beginning of April; bloom is fairly late, in mid-June; and leaf fall is in mid-November. V. aestivalis is of no interest as a rootstock because its resistance to phylloxera is only fair (9/20); it is sensitive to lime and its roots very poorly if at all. The leaves are free of phylloxera galls and it has a good resistance to downy and powdery mildews. According to Loomis, it also has a very good resistance or tolerance to Pierce's disease. Owing to the relatively large size of its berries (compared with other native species) and its good resistance to disease, V. aestivalis has numerous commercially successful descendants. The proliferation of descendents is in part due to Jaeger 70, a rupestris-Lincecumii cross which is in the first generation of many of the Seibel and Couderc hybrids (Seibel 1000, Couderc 7120). Herbemont and Black Spanish (Lenoir), natural descendants of aestivalis, were grown in France after the phylloxera crisis and are grown commercially today in Texas.

Per Galet (see citation): "ORIGIN: S. 5474 (or S. 8724 according to some source) x Chardonnay. It was introduced after 1945 as the "premium variety" of the "New Viticulture." DESCRIPTION: Growing tip: cobwebby, slightly pink. Young leaves: nearly glabrous, shiny. Leaf: orbicular-reniform 035-3-34, lateral sinuses 31 with narrow bases, thick, bluish green, shiny, glabrous below with faintly pubescent veins, red petiolar junction; petiolar junction an open V; teeth pointed, narrow. Shoot: ribbed, slightly cobwebby and pubescent on the nodes. Cluster: small or medium, 8 to 15 cm, cylindrical, long, winged; berries round, small, pinkish white, pulpy, characteristic flavor. APTITUDES: Although a number of promising claims were made when this variety was introduced, it has not lived up to them. Ravat blanc is a HDP that must be grafted, is as sensitive to powdery mildew as Carignane, and is very susceptible to bunch rot. This lack of disease resistance coupled with fact that it is a small producer has meant that Ravat 6 is of little interest to commercial growers. Maturity is early." | 1018408 | DVIT 2130 |

Per Galet (see citation): "DESCRIPTION: Growing tip: downy, white. Young leaves: cobwebby, lobed, bronze patches. Leaf: lug, cuneiform 146-3-35; lateral sinuses 52, superior sinuses with pointed bases and overlapping edges, inferior sinuses open with pointed bases; clear green, lightly bullate, concave lobes, very cobwebby below and on principal veins; petiolar sinus lyre-shaped, more or less open; teeth pointed, narrow. Shoot: clear green with a few brown streaks in sun, cobwebby at tip; tendrils green, medium. Cane: beige or clear brown with darker nodes, bloom voering especially on the nodes. Cluster: large with well-developed lateral branches, fairly compact although often loose due to coulure; berries ellipsoidal, fairly large, 15 to 20 mm, attractive blue-black, average skin, juicy pulp with strong muscat flavor, very pleasing. APTITUDES: The second most popular table grape in France (after Chasselas), Muscat 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. The choice of a more or less vigorous rootstock will retard or advance maturity. It is very sensitive to downy and powdery mildew and should be cane pruned." | 1018298 | DVIT 2111 |

Per Galet (see citation): "Growing tip: felty, white with slightly pink margin. Young leaves: downy, yellowish, bullate. Leaf: medium to fairly large, cuneiform 146-3-46; lateral sinuses 31 to 53, sometimes with a tooth at base; contorted, rippling, smooth although sometimes crimped at the petiolar junction, convex edges, cobwebby below with light pubescence on teh veins; petiolar sinus lyre-shaped; teeth convex, narrow. Shoot: ribbed, greenish-yellow with slightly pinkish nodes on side exposed to sun; tendrils very long, fleshy. Cluster: fairly small, 10 cm, winged, loose; berries round, 12 mm, black, slightly pulpy, bitter and acid. Saint-Macaire is a secondary variety of the Bordeaux region. It is found almost exclusively in nonappelation areas, especially in the alluvial soils along river banks. It is not a very vigorous variety and is often virus infected. According to Levadoux, there 'are two main types of this variety: the Moustouzere type with an entire or 3-lobed leaf found mostly in Entre-Deux-Mers, and the Saint-Macaire found along river banks whose leaves are more deeply lobed. These two types are often mixed in the same vineyard.' The wine is deeply colored, light in body, and sometimes a little green. It does well when cane pruned. Sensitive to downy and powdery mildews, Saint-Macaire was very hardy during the winter of 1956. Maturity is late midseason." | 1011053 | DVIT 1060 |

Per Galet (see citation): Growing tip: downy, white with rose margin. Young leaves: cobwebby, yellowish-green, bronze on bulges. Leaf: medium, orbicular 035-2-57. Shoot: glabrous, finely ribbed, reddish brown in the sun, pinkish nodes; tendrils small, thin. Cane: dull yellowish-brown, nodes slightly darker, bloom covering the whole cane. Cluster: small, 7-10 cm, cylindrical, compact, winged; berries round, small, amber yellow at maturity. Chardonnay is the noble variety of the great white burgandies of Montrachet, Meursault, Chablis, Pouilly Fuisse, and Maconnais blanc, and is one of the principal varieties of the champagne region. Has a good relative resistance to low winter temperatures. Has some resistance to downy mildew, but is sensitive to powdery mildew and botrytis. [Chardonnay] is often long cane pruned and its production depends on the fertility of the soil and the health of the plant." Per website www.wineloverspage,com/wineguest/wgg.html: "[Chardonnay is] possessing a fruit character (e.g. Apple, lemon, citrus) subsequent barrel-influenced flavors include 'oak', 'vanilla', and maloactic fermentation imparted 'creamy-buttery' components." Per Winkler (see citation): "When [Chardonnay] grows very vigorously, the crop may be increased by girdling. It should be cane-pruned. The clusters are small; cylindrical, winged; loose to well filled. The berries are small; round; usually with one seed. The leaves are large; almost entire; with the basal veins often naked to the first branch." Unkown source: "The skin is tough and translucent. Grows rapidly early in the season and develops long shoots that trail on the ground. Vines should be planted 8ft. apart in the row. The ripe fruit is susceptible to mold spoilage after autumn rains. The vines show marked symptoms and decline rapidly when affected by Pierce's disease. Subject to spring frost injury. Early maturity and small berry size make the exposed fruit attractive to birds, especially starlings." | 1013038 | DVIT 1332 |

Per Galet (see citation): "Growing tip: felty, white with rose margin, downy stem. Young leaves: downy, yellowish, bronze on the bulges. Leaf: orbicular 025-3-46, lateral sinuses 53 with pointed bases, contorted, bullate, crimped at the petiolar junction, thick, cobwebby and faintly pubescent below; petiolar sinus lyre-shaped, generally open; teeth convex, average. Shoot: green with pinkish brown nodes, very thick; tendrils small, thin. Cane clear beige with darker nodes, bloom very abundant at the nodes giving a purplish tint. Cluster: medium, winged, cylindrical , compact; berries medium 12 mm, round, white becoming pinkish at full maturity, slightly muscat flavor. The Bordeaux variety is the base of the great white wines of the Southwest, Sauterne being the best known in the United States. The over-ripe grapes are well suited to the effects of "noble-rot" (Botrytis cinerea) and in favorable (dry) years are picked individually in succcessive harvests to produce the unique dessert wines of the region. However, due to reduced demand for sweet white dessert wines, there is a tendency to use Semillion for the production of dry wines. Since as a dry varietal Semillion has been found to lack freshness and bouquet, it is often blended with 15 to 30 percent Muscadelle. Semillion is a vigorous, productive variety whose budbreak is average and maturity is midseason. It has some resistance to downy and powdery mildew and it resisted well the winter freezes of Montpellier. However, in humid years it is susceptible to ignoble rot. The selection of propagating wood must be very careful due to fanleaf virus infection." | 1013082 | DVIT 1338 |

Per Galet (see citation): "Growing tip: very downy (nearly felty), deep rose margin. Young leaves: downy, bullate, edges of the leaf reddish, giving wine-colored appearance. Leaf: orbicular 135-3-58, lateral sinuses 54 with concave bases, the superior sinuses have overlapping edges and give the impression of having been pierced with a hole punch, bullate, shiny, dark green, downy tufts and light pubescence below; petiolar sinus lyre-shaped, closed, or with overlapping edges and a naked base; teeth convex, wide, relatively few. Shoot: ribbed, clear green, slightly brownish at the base; tendrils small, thin. Cane: clear yellow to beige, reddish-brown nodes, light bloom on nodes. Cluster: small, 10 cm, cylindrical-conical, winged: berries round, small, 7-10 mm, black, characteristic flavor. Growth habit: upright. Cabernet is the noble variety of the Bordeaux region which is responsible for the great wines of the Medoc. The wine is highly colored, very tannic, has a characteristic "violet" bouquet, and unless blended with other varieties, requires a long period of aging. It is a vigorous variety, but a small producer. [ ... ] Budbreak is very late, an advantage against spring frosts. Maturity is late midseason, and the teeth of the leaves turn red in the fall. While it is very susceptible to powdery mildew and phomopsis, it has some resistance to botrytis." | 1013188 | DVIT 1350 |

This species, sometimes known as the Sweet Mountain or Sugar grape, is late ripening; budbreak is at the beginning of April, bloom in the first part of June, and maturation at the beginning of October. The roots have only a fair resistance to phyloxera (9/20), but the leaves show no signs of galls. It appears to have a medium resistance to Pierce's disease (8 to 10 years, according to Loomis). V. monticola was first noticed because of its high tolerance to lime. Unfortunately, its cuttings do not take root, and it is very difficult ot graft successfully which limits its viability as a rootstock.

Per Galet (see citation): "ORIGIN: This rootstock was selected by the viticulture school of Oppenheim, Germany, from Teleki's Berlandieri-riparia No. 4 (see origin 5 BB); SO 4 is an abbreviation of Selection Oppenheim No. 4. DESCRIPTION: Growing tip: downy, white with rose margin. Young leaves: cobwebby, green, more or less copper. Leaf: cuneiform, 136-3-24, entire, lateral sinuses 10, dull, yellowish, wavy, with upturned edges; petiolar sinus with a narrow V on narrow leaves which becomes an open U when adult; teeth convex, nearly flat; petiolar junction pink; petiole and veins pubescent. Flower: always sterile, male. Shoot: ribbed, purple nodes, slightly pubescent especially on the nodes. Cane: finely ribbed, glabrous with a few pubescent hairs on the nodes, dark chocolate brown, nodes inconspicuous; small, pointed buds. APTITUDES: This is a vigorous rootstock which develops especially rapidly at the start and, like Riparia tends to favor fruit set and advance maturity. In field trials in the Champagne district, the vines grafted on SO 4 had a greater average production than those on 161-49 C or 41 B, but slightly less than on 5 BB. In the Mediterranean region, SO 4 has been criticized for its slender trunk, which may fail to support a nontrelised, head-pruned vine with a heavy crop. Suited to humid, clay soils, it is not recommended for very dry conditions. Its resistance to active lime is approximately 17 to 18 percent and it has a good resistance to nematodes. According to Vidal and Marcelin (1968), it accepts up to 0.4g/kg salt content. SO 4 roots well. It field grafts well and bench grafts satisfactorily. It produces a large amount of propagating wood. Introduced in France in 1941, there was an extensive planting of mother vines mainly to satisfy the demand for graftable cuttings in Germany. It is now the number one rootstock variety in France." Per Winkler (see citation): "SO 4 has only recently been placed in field trials in California vineyards. The moderate vigor of its scions indicates that it may not be suitable on high stress sites. For example, in a non-irrigated trial in Napa Valley, it has developed slowly, producing relatively small vines during the first few years. On the other hand, it may be quite satisfactory on irrigated, more fertile sites. This new stock to California deserves a thorough and intensive study in phylloxerated districts." | 1015425 | DVIT 1675 |

Per Galet (see citation): "ORIGIN: This is a cross [...] was made by Ressuguier and sold to Teleki. Teleki made the selection but the wood of five neighboring vines was mixed in with the original 8 B; this explains the existance of "the 8 B's" with female flowers in Vaucluse, Germany and Italy. DESCRIPTION: Growing tip: downy, white with rose margin. Young leaves: cobwebby, bronze. Leaf: very large, 20 cm (squared), cuneiform, 135-3-35, entire 00, soft, edges turned down, bullate, crimped around petiolar junction, pubescent below; petiolar sinus V-shaped; teeth convex, wide, obvious mucrones; petioles pubescent. Flowers: male, always sterile. Shoot: ribbed, pubescent, soft, nodes purple except at tip. Cane: reddish-brown to chocolate with darker nodes; velvety pubescence; ong internodes; inconspicuous nodes, fairly large buds. APTITUDES: 8 B is not an important variety in France. There are very few mother vines or vineyards planted on it since 5 BB is generally considered more satisfactory. While it may be a little more resistant to drought than 5 BB, it is still less so than the Berlandieri-rupestris varieties. It is sensitive to lime over 17 percent. Boubals and Huglin (1950) cite it as being among the varieties resistant to nematodes. 8 B produces a large amount of wood which grafts well, but roots less well." Per D.P. Pongracz, Rootstocks for Grape-vines pp. 100-101: "Selected by Teleki in 1902 from his group 'B'. APTITUDES: Cuttings of 8 B do not root well, but once rooted they graft readily on the spot. [...] Its tolerance of soluable salts in saline soils is nil. It is classified as resistant to nematodes. Because 8 B is very vigorous and tough rootstock, it was widely used in central and south-eastern Europe as a rootstock, but it has been replaced there with better hybrids of the group mainly 5 BB and 5 C.

Muller-Thurgau is said to be a cross between Riesling and Sylvaner obtained in 1891 in Switzerland; however, some believe it to have come from a self-pollinated Riesling seed. This is a vigorous, productive variety with latish budbreak and very early maturity. It is sensitive to powdery mildew and botrytis. The wine is rated between Riesling and Sylvaner. Muller-Thurgau is grown in cool, northerly regions including Alsace, Germany, and England." | 1009364 | DVIT 852 |

Per http:\\www.wineloverspage.com\wineguest\wgg: "Classic white-wine producer variety commonly planted in the Bordeaux and eastern Loire regions of France. Shows vigorous growth and is late maturing. Members of the cepage are now thought to be descendants of the ancient Fie variety once common in the Loire region of France. [...] In the Styria region of Austria the variety is occasionally referred to as the Muskat-Sylvaner. All versions of the cepage show a tendency towards a grassy, herbaceous flavor in the grapewine, often referred to as "gooseberry" by professional tasters, when the grapes are grown in temperate regions. In warmer regions, the flavors and aromas tend to be more citruslike, (e.g: grapefruit or pear), plus the characteristic "earthy" taste. New Zealand has had much success with the grape in recent years." Per Galet (see citation): "Growing tip: felty, white with rose margin. Young leaves: upper surface downy, yellowish with several patches of bronze; lower surface felty.

Cluster: medium, winged, cylindrical , compact; berries medium 12 mm, round, white becoming pinkish at full maturity, slightly muscat flavor. The Bordeaux variety is the base of the great white wines of the Southwest, Sauterne being the best known in the United States. The over-ripe grapes are well suited to the effects of "noble-rot" (Botrytis cinerea) and in favorable (dry) years are picked individually in succcessive harvests to produce the unique dessert wines of the region. However, due to reduced demand for sweet white dessert wines, there is a tendency to use Semillion for the production of dry wines. Since as a dry varietal Semillion has been found to lack freshness and bouquet, it is often blended with 15 to 30 percent Muscadelle. Semillion is a vigorous, productive variety whose budbreak is average and maturity is midseason. It has some resistance to downy and powdery mildew and it resisted well the winter freezes of Montpellier. However, in humid years it is susceptible to ignoble rot. The selection of propagating wood must be very careful due to fanleaf virus infection." | 1010342 | DVIT 954 |

Tannat is a variety from the Basse-Pyrenees where it is used to produce regional dry red table wines such as Madiran. The wine is deeply colored, alcoholic, and has a 'raspberry' bouquet; it is harshly astringent when young and requires several years of aging to develop fully. Blending Tannat with about 30 percent Cabernet franc is recommended for softer wine. A vigorous variety, Tannat buds out fairly late in the spring and ripens late.

APTITUDES: Cuttings of the Dog Ridge for use with heavily producing wine and raisen varieties on light sandy soils, where nematode infestation may be heavy. On fertile soils the extreme vigour of the grafted vines of this rootstock is a drawback because it induces zinc deficiency and bad setting of the berries. Dgo Ridge is not used as a rootstock in the Old World and its resistance to the phylloxera is seriously doubted."

Flower cluster: female; small clusters with medium-small (12mm) berries, pulpy. Shoot: ribbed, downy at tip, reddish-brown (mahogany). Since it is only moderately resistant to phylloxera and lime and very difficult to root, Dog Ridge has never been of commerical importance in France. Its good resistance to nematodes has made it useful in California in light, sandy, irrigated soils, and it can also be a useful rootstock in its native Texas. Dog Ridge is a very vigorous variety. The leaves may carry a few phylloxera galls. It is not grown commerically in France." | 1012653 | DVIT 1281 |

Cluster: medium, 15-20cm long, fairly compact, conical, with one or two wings; berries oval, 10-12mm, firm golden-yellow at maturity. Chenin blanc is known to have been growing in 845 A.D. on the left bank of the Loire in Anjou at the Abbey of Glanfeuil. Its present name dates from around the fifteenth century from Mont-Chenin in the Touraine region, and it is cited by name in the literature of Rabelais. The wine is very fruity with a lot of bouquet and in good years is worth aging. It generally contains some residual sugar since it lends itself to slightly sweet (or very sweet dessert wines) rather than dry wines. In addition it is oftenn made into sparkling wine, as in Vouvray, for example. Early budbreak exposes it to spring frosts. Maturity is midseason; sensitive to downy and powdery mildews, botrytis, and the grape berry moth." | 1008110 | DVIT 691 |
