Malverina is a grape variety used for making white wine. It was created in former Czechoslovakia by a group called Vine Research Centre Resistant[1]. Malverina is a result of an inter-specific breeding "Rakish" (Villard Blanc x Roter Veltliner) x "Merlan" (Merlot x Seibel 13666). It exhibits high resistance against both powdery and downy mildew, which makes it suitable for producing wines in a limited spray or even no-spray vineyards. Grapes ripen in mid October. It is grown in Moravia.
