Petite Manseng
The better of the two Manseng clones, the other being the Gros Manseng. A small white grape famous for its ability to shrivel on the vine and infamous for its miniscule amounts of juice. The Petite Manseng is found in most parts of southwestern France, especially the Madiran and Jurançon VDQS areas. Because of the length of time on the vine that the Petite Manseng can endure high sugar levels and subsequent high alcohol levels are common. Most famous for the moelleux wines of Pacherenc du Vic Bihl.
