Key Advantages

• Disease-resistant Hungarian variety.
• Pleasant and distinctive Muscat flavour.
• Large, crisp and attractive berries.
• Reliable and abundant productivity.
• Good transportability and storage potential.
• Suitable for pergolas and trellises due to its vigorous growth.

Growing Characteristics

Pölöskei Muskotály is a vigorous and relatively undemanding variety with good resistance to fungal diseases, meaning it generally requires less plant protection than many traditional grape varieties. It performs well in sunny locations and is also suitable for training over pergolas and larger trellises. Its frost tolerance is moderate, so a protected location is preferable in colder areas.
