Alexandrouli (Aleksandrouli) RARE GRAPE red

https://www.vivc.de/index.php?r=akzessionen%2Fviewacc&id=37729

The grape is reputed to be one of the oldest and greatest of the Georgian varieties, but is also reported by the Geilweilerhof database as a selected seedling of Muscat of  Alexandria. This may reflect two varieties, the Alexandrouli wine grape and the table grape Alexandriuli Muscat. (Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aleksandrouli)

 Originating and thriving on the sunny southern calcareous slopes of the Caucasus Mountains in the Racha region of western Georgia, the grape requires a longer growing season as it ripens later than average. Wines produced from Aleksandrouli can be dry to semisweet and are typically low in tannins and amazingly soft, with aromas of raspberry and black cherry.
