Raffiat de Moncade is a white Pyrenean grape variety. A descendant of the white gouais, it should not be confused with the arruffiac. This grape variety has truncated cone-shaped bunches of grapes, which are stalked and winged. The raffiat de Moncade was used by the ampelographer Marcel Durquety to obtain new varieties such as perdea, arroba and arriloba. Still called rousselet, the raffiat de Moncade is associated with an early budding in the year and a late maturity of the second period. It has a semi-spreading habit. This variety is quite productive and resists grey rot and powdery mildew quite well. Raffiat de Moncade is used in the vinification of certain wines from Tursan and Béarn. It is used to produce a neutral, fine, high alcohol and warm wine. It is often combined with petit manseng and gros manseng, which give the wines a high acidity.
