Phenology
Bud burst: same as Chasselas.
Grape maturity: early-season, 1 week and a half to 2 weeks after Chasselas.
Suitability for cultivation and agronomic production
Savagnin rose displays a similar behavior as Gewurztraminer. It is well adapted to clay-limestone terroirs and soils that do not induce too much chlorosis.
Susceptibility to diseases and pests
The susceptibility to diseases is comparable to that of Gewurztraminer (slightly susceptible to powdery mildew, grape moths and to grey rot).
Technological potentiality
The bunches and berries are small. Savagnin rose mainly differs from Gewurztraminer as its wine does not have the spicy aromas of the latter.
Clonal selection in France
The only certified Savagnin rose clone carries the number 763. A conservatory of 15 or so clones has been planted in 1998 in Alsace.
