The scientific research in the field of improvement of vines has as main objective the diversification of the wine variety by creating new varieties with high quantitative and qualitative potential, with tolerance to diseases, pests and stress factors. Responding to this purpose, at the SCDVV Odobeşti was created the 'Vrancea’ variety, obtained from the sexual crossing of the hybrid combination (Traminer x Armaş) with the 'Fetească regală’ variety, approved in 2018. The new creation is characterized by grapes of small to medium size (153 g) , small to medium grains (1.9 g), uniform, globular, with thin skin, pink - yellow, succulent pulp, slightly firm, without anthocyanin coloration. The average grape production is 6.7 kg/ha, respectively 23.7 t/ha. It presents good tolerance to the main cryptogamic diseases and stressors. The grapes reach maturity in their V age. Higher quality white wines are obtained, with an average alcoholic potential (12.0-12.6% vol alcohol), good total acidity (6.2 g/l tartaric acid) and medium to high values of the extract non-reducing dry (21.0 g/l).
