30th of the same month, at Paxarete, 12 degrees, or 

 1-089. 



At Xeres, it is planted in the proportion of one third 

 in the vineyards of the arenas. At Arcos, Espera, and 

 Paxarete, it occupies four-fifths of the vineyards. 

 No. 6. MoscATEL Gordo Blanco. (Large White.) 



DESCRIPTION. 



This variety differs from the small Muscat, by the 

 great size of the stock ; by its branches, which are also 

 thicker, and of a yellow reed-like colour. By its berries, 

 which are a little gilded, and of 11 lines in length, by 9t 

 in thickness. 



The must of this grape at Chipiona, weighed on the 

 15th September, after three days' exposure to the sun, 12 

 degrees, or 1-089. At Palmosa, on the 26th of the same 

 month, it weighed 13 degrees, or 1096. In October, 

 1808, it weighed 15 degrees, or 1.114. 



This is the grape from which are made the best 

 Malaga raisins. 



No. 7. Machar Nudo. 

 This variety was furnished to my friend at Xeres, by 

 Don Pedro Domecq, of Machar Nudo, as the most 

 valuable grape which enters into the composition of 

 sherry wine, but the former forgot its name, I have 

 called it Machar Nudo, till it can be identified.
