Characteristics:

It was obtained in California at the Fresno Resort by hybridizing the Flame Tokay (Ahmeur bou Ahmeur) x Ribier (Alphonse Lavalle).

Cardinal is a variety of short-lived vegetation (155-160 days), requiring 18-19 C of useful heat. Instead, vegetation prolonges until late autumn, which is why the wood matures only on 2/3 of their length. It has high vigor and high fertility (75-80% of the sprouts are fertile).

Biological resistances: very poor in frost (-14C, -16C) and drought; sensitive to mania and oidium, excoriosis and short - node; medium tolerance to the gray rot of grapes. It is prone to cuts and mowing, low temperatures and rains during blooming accentuate phenomena, diminishing the percentage of production.

In the southern regions of the country, the Cardinal reaches consumer maturity between August 1-10, and in sub-Carpathian hills, mid-month. The consistency of grapes on the hub is high - approx. 15-20 days, provided rain does not occur.
