Petit Manseng
White wine grape · never named in a CDFA report
Further reading: UC Davis Foundation Plant Services
Petit Manseng is a small, thick-skinned white grape from the French Pyrenees, used in its home region of Jurançon for late-harvest, botrytis-resistant dessert wines. The variety is grown and bottled by producers in California today, but it has never appeared as its own line in any CDFA crush or acreage report — the atlas holds no production series for it at all, no reported tonnage, price, or planted acreage. Its California page carries identity information only, a reminder that not every variety planted commercially here is captured in the state's official agricultural statistics.

Why it is here
No CDFA Grape Crush or Grape Acreage Report has named this grape in the 26 years this atlas covers, so every figure above is zero and none of them is a gap. It is here because California demonstrably bottles it: Tablas Creek Petit Manseng 2019.
