Moscatel de grano menudo
Its clusters are cylindrical, compact, and sometimes deformed. The grape is small, cylindrical, with a color ranging from yellow to mahogany and a sweet flavor. The wines of this variety are very aromatic, with a fairly high alcohol content, and allow for the production of sweet or dry wines, mistelas, or fortified wines. If dried, the resulting wine is glyceric and fortified.
Weaknesses
Low-yield variety, sensitive to mildew and grapevine moth. It is also sensitive to powdery mildew and frost. Its clusters are small, and when they ripen (at the end of August), they easily become raisined on the vine.
