Vigorous and productive the vine is cold tender in the manner of its V.vinifera origin. Historically used, as one of the parents, for a starting point leading to many French/American hybrid varieties. Widely grown, its black-skinned berries are used for white-wine production and as a tablegrape with good keeping properties. Under the name Frankental it is popular in France as a tablegrape normally ripened under glass, the very large blue/black bunches usually reaching peak condition in mid-October. Used as a winegrape it is generally considered to produce aromatic, yet mediocre wines mostly suited for blending although some ros?s are produced. Popular in Greece (see Moschato Hamburg), and also in Tianjin, China where it is blended with Sylvaner and Welschriesling to make a semi-dry wine known as 'Dynasty'.
