Cross between B36-27 and P64-18 obtained in the United States (California) by David Wilder Ramming and Ronald Tarailo and where it is cultivated since 1994. The slightly foxed taste of its flesh makes us think that there was an intervention of a direct producer hybrid itself with a foxed taste.

The word of the wine: Oxidative (breeding)
A method of ageing which aims to give the wine certain aromas of evolution (dried fruit, bitter orange, coffee, rancio, etc.) by exposing it to the air; it is then matured either in barrels, demi-muids or unoaked casks, sometimes stored in the open air, or in barrels exposed to the sun and to temperature variations. This type of maturation characterizes certain natural sweet wines, ports and other liqueur wines.
