RARE GRAPE VARIETAL RESOURCE

Malingre Précoce is a white variety of grape of French origin used primarily as table grape and to some extent for wine. It was first cultivated by a French gardener named Malingre in the vicinity of Paris around 1840, who created it from seedlings of unknown origin. The term "précoce" indicates early ripening, and because of this property Malingre Précoce finds some use in cold climate. It is therefore considered very early ripening.

The variety carries well and has sufficient resistance to rot. The berries are juicy and sweet, but have no specific flavor. Due to the thin-skinned berries, the variety is easily susceptible to the raw rot and a transport of the berries is therefore hardly possible viticulture.
