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. Shoot: very thick, flat at the nodes, very distinctly ribbed, cobwebby at tip, brown in sun, darker nodes; large, well-developed tendrils. Cane: straw yellow with darker nodes, bloom, longitudinal dark streaks; buds average, pointed. 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 |

Per Baron (see citation below): "An oval white Sweetwater Grape. Season: early. Merits: first-class in quality, but constitutionally weak and uncertain. Vine: growth somewhat gross, the young shoots being often very thick, soft, pithy,and badly ripened; a moderate cropper. Leaves large, roundish, very deeply toothed, thick, and soft; ripening off early of a deep yellow colour. Fruit: Bunches large, well shouldered, ovate in outline; stalk stout and fleshy, that of the berry being stout and warted. Berries very large, obovate, slightly pointed, in some cases round. Skin thin, clear pale greenish yellow, inclining to pale yellow when fully ripe. Flesh firm, very juicy, the flavour somewhat resembling that of a very sweet Black Hamburgh, and very pleasant to the palate. Cultural Notes: This fine grape is somewhat difficult to cultivate; it is a free grower in some places, but in others it makes very slow progress. It fruits better on young rods than on spurs." | 1006075 | DVIT 411 |

Vine - growth free and vigorous, the shoots stout, with large prominent buds; very fruitful. Leaves - large, broad, very downy, often presenting the appearance of flagging, and very early in the season, assuming a rusty appearance, from which they change to a dull reddish hue.

Per Barron (see citation): "An oval white Vinous Grape. Season: late. Merits: a first-class late white Grape, well worth cultivation.
