Description
Produces perfect shaped bunches of large golden fruits - as eating grapes go this really is the classic. The muscat flavour and scent more than surpasses expectations, making this a variety we would thoroughly recommend.
For the more adventurous preserver it is worth remembering this is the grape used in Australia for making Lexia raisins. Around the rest of the world (where it is known under a variety of names including Moscatel, Moscatel Romano, Moscatel de Málaga, Muscat Gordo Blanco, Hanepoot, Lexia, Moscatel, Gordo, and Zibibbo) it is extensively used in wine, sherry and liqueur production.
Up until recently it was recommended this variety was only grown under protection in the UK. As our climate warms, this variety will now perform and ripen most years when grown outside in the more Southern Counties of the UK. For those further up the Country we would continue to recommend growing under protection (greenhouse, polytunnel or conservatory).
- Originally from France.
- Mid-season fruit ripening.
- Recommended for protected growing only in in more Northern parts of the UK.
- Can be trained by spur pruning.
- Self fertile.
