This pattern is well adapted to poor, little or no calcareous soils.

It usually has a good affinity for grafts. It gives very good results with the  Garnacha Tinta .

The vigor it provides is quite high and induces an important vegetative development.

Lot’s Rupestris has a tendency to delay the vegetative cycle and can induce a lack of color in certain sensitive varieties.

The selected clones of Rupestris de Lot are: 110, 213, 214, 235, 750 and 751.
