Grape Vine Bianca

Description

This delicious white, wine grape is orginally from North East Hungary, it produces lots of small grapes with a waxy coating. It is a vigorous grower and good for producing a large leafed canopy. It is used to make various types of wine from dry to sweet and is often blended.

Bianca was developed in the Eger wine region in 1963, it was originally names 'Egri Csillagok 40' which means 'star of Eger'.It was registered as 'Bianca' in 1982.

Bianca is a cross between Bouvier (from Slovenia, which is thought to be an off spring of Pinot Noir) and Eger 2. Bianca has since been crossed with Petra (in Serbia) to produce Backa and Rubinka, which are pink grapes.

Bianca has good resistance to many fungal diseases and insects and therefore a popular choice for the organic vineyards and growers. Given that it is quite a hardy variety it is ideal for growing in areas with short growing seasons.
