Before the maturity of the fruit the larger leaves 

 take a yellow colour, the stalk a clear red, and 

 almost at right angles to the leaf. 

 Bunches, rather large, stalk flexible. 

 Berries, 9 lines long, and 8^ thick, fleshy, very savoury? 

 the veins apparent, the skin fine, the ring circular, 

 and decidedly marked of a clear grey, and some- 

 times with 5 angles, and of a deep reddish grey, 

 commonly rather slender towards the point. 

 The must of this grape marked at San Lucar on the 

 15th of Sept. 9 degrees, and on the 19th of the same 

 month, 91 degrees of Baume*s hydrometer, or 1-064! and 

 1'069. This grape bursts and rots if exposed to rain 

 after it is ripe. At Xeres it is chiefly cultivated in 

 the sandy soils, and is more valued as an eating grape 

 than for wine. It is also hung up to keep for winter 

 provision.
