Garnacha Peluda

The red grape variety originates from Spain and belongs to the Garnacha group. Synonyms are Garnatxa Peluda, Grenache d'Afrique, Grenache Noir Tomenteux, Grenache Poilu, Grenache Velu, Lladoner Gris, Lladoner Pelud, Lladoner Pelut, Lledoner and Lledoner Pelut (second main name).

Garnacha Peluda - Trauben

Parentage

It is a somatic mutation of Garnacha Tinta. The difference is the furry, hairy undersides of the leaves (peludo = furry, very hairy), which delays evaporation.

Characteristics

The medium to late-ripening vine is highly resistant to powdery mildew and more resistant than Garnacha Tinta to coulure, but is susceptible to downy mildew, eutypiosis and crude rot. It has smaller, thicker-skinned berries and produces red wines that are more acidic but lighter in alcohol than Garnacha Tinta.

Sigi Hiss

There is a vast number of sources on the web where one can acquire knowledge about wine. But none has the scope, timeliness and accuracy of the information in the encyclopaedia at wein.plus. I use it regularly and rely on it.
