Moscato Embrapa

The white grape variety is an interspecific new cross between Couderc 13 (Vitis aestivalis var. lincecumii x Couderc 162-5) x July Muscat (complex cross based on Muscat d'Alexandrie x Muscat d' Hamburg). Synonyms or breeding numbers are CNPUV 106-93 and Embrapa 131. Genes of Vitis aestivalis, Vitis rupestris and Vitis vinifera are included. The hybrid was crossed in 1983 in Brazil at the Agricultural Research Institute EMBRAPA in Sobral. The vine is resistant to botrytis. It produces qualitatively simple aromatic white wines with muscat tones. The variety is also used as table grape. In Brazil, it is mainly cultivated in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. In 2016, a total of 683 hectares of vineyards were reported, with a strong downward trend (Kym Anderson statistics).
