The white grape variety (also MT x TT 65/4) is a new variety between Müller-Thurgau x Tramín Cervený(Gewürztraminer). The crossbreeding took place in Slovakia in 1973. The plant variety protection was granted in 2004. The two new varieties Medea and Pálava were created with the same parents. The medium ripening vine is moderately resistant to various fungal diseases. It produces aromatic, extract-rich, rather low-acid white wines with a discreet muscatel tone, similar to Müller-Thurgau. It is grown in small quantities in Slovakia and the Czech Republic. In 2016, however, no stocks were reported (statistics Kym Anderson).
In the past, you needed a wealth of encyclopaedias and specialist literature to keep up to date in your vinophile professional life. Today, Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one of my best helpers and can rightly be called the "bible of wine knowledge".
