Citronny Magaracha

The white grape variety (also Tsitronny Magaracha) is a complex new cross between Madeleine Angevine x (Magarach 124-66-26 = Rkatsiteli x Magarach 2-57-72 x Novoukrainsky Ranny = Dzhura Usyum (a table grape cross) x Csaba Gyöngye). The cross was made in 1978 at the Magarach Viticultural Institute in the Crimea (Ukraine) by the breeder P. Ya. Golodriga. The early to medium ripening, high-yielding vine is resistant to frost down to minus 25 °Celsius and generally to fungal diseases. According to its name, it produces white wines with aromas of citrus fruits and peach, as well as a discreet muscat tone, which are mainly used for blending. The variety is grown in Ukraine (110 ha) and in Russia in the Krasnodar area (307 ha). In 2016, only the stand in Russia was reported (Kym Anderson).

The glossary is a monumental achievement and one of the most important contributions to wine knowledge. Of all the encyclopaedias I use on the subject of wine, it is by far the most important. That was the case ten years ago and it hasn't changed since.
