Imported by Vititec in 2008 and released
from quarantine in 2009, this clone was first planted in 2014 in South Africa.
According to French data, this clone originates in Gironde and is an earlier
maturing clone. In experimentation carried out in Languedoc and Bordeaux, this
clone has medium to lower fertility, bunch and berry weights. It has shown a
lower production potential, high sugar content, medium acidity, and medium to
superior anthocyanin and polyphenolic content.
Wines are appreciated due to their balance
structure and tannins with and their very good ageing potential.
Summary

ENTAV-INRA N° 337 which has been considered the reference clone
in Bordeaux.
