Veritas

The white grape variety is a new breed between Red Riesling x Bouvier. It was crossed in 1963 in the Czech Republic at the South Moravian breeding station Znojmo by C. Míša and M. Zboril. The plant variety protection was granted in 2001. The early-ripening vine is moderately resistant to fungal diseases except botrytis. It yields fruity, full-bodied white wines with moderate acidity. It is cultivated in the south-eastern part of Morava (Moravia). In 2010 the area under cultivation was four hectares (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.
