Michlovsk&yacute; at the Vine Research Centres of Velk&eacute; Pavlovice and Pern&aacute; by crossing Andr&eacute; x Irsay Oliver.&nbsp;

<blockquote>The wine is full, atypical and, unusually for a red wine, displays expressive muscatty aromas.</blockquote>It is of vigorous growth, medium-thick foliage and has small to medium bunches with small berries of a blueish-black colour with expressive muscat tones. Resistance to fungal diseases is average. Its soil requirements are currently being assessed.The grapes attain high must-weight levels and ripen early.The wine is full, atypical and, unusually for a red wine, displays expressive muscatty aromas. It could probably be successfully used in the production of dessert wines.&nbsp;Translation &copy; Helena &amp; John Baker 2004.

Agni

Red wine

<h3>About</h3>Entered in the State Register of Grape Varieties in 1975.This variety was bred in the Ukranian Scientific Research Institute for Wine and Vines in Odessa. In that area it goes by the name Odesskij čornyj (Black). Alibernet is grown more widely in Slovakia, where in warmer conditions it can achieve a quality of particulary good kabinet levels. It is a crossing of Alicante Bouschet x Cabernet Sauvignon.<blockquote>Grapes have a high acidity level, especially in harvests of poor vintages.&nbsp;</blockquote>

Growth is vigorous, leaves medium, five-lobed, of an intense green hue which in autumn becomes deep red. Bunches are large, wide and sparse. Berries are of medium size, blueish-black with dark red flesh and juice. The flesh has a distinct Cabernet taste. Resistance to fungal diseases and frost is good. It requires the best positions, due to its late-ripening. Harvests are regular and high. Grapes have a high acidity level, especially in harvests of poor vintages.&nbsp;<blockquote>It is an expressive red wine, somewhat southern in character.&nbsp;</blockquote>The wine may well attain excellent quality and can be ample and round when coming from lower yields under warmer conditions. From higher yields it is thin, with less colour, and with an unpleasantly high level of acidity. With due attention given to the vineyard work it is possible to produce varietal wines. Otherwise it is a variety suitable for blends to which it imparts its colour and distinct Cabernety aroma.<h2>Basic characteristics of quality wines:</h2>Very dark red in appearance, aromatic substances are very much those of the Cabernet style. The wines are of medium to medium-full body or better, with high tannins which slowly ripen to a neutral smoothness. It is an expressive red wine, somewhat southern in character.&nbsp;Translation &copy; Helena &amp; John Baker 2004.
