Origin
This variety has different hypotheses about its origin and spread, is known as Bozcaada Çavuşu in its home country since it is mostly grown in Bozcaada. As a result of the recent studies, Bozcaada Çavuşu was registered by the Turkish Trademark and Patent Authority in 2020 and received a geographical indication under the name of Bozcaada Çavuş Üzümü.[1]
Viticulture
Çavuş is an early ripening grape variety in the vineyard. Flowering period is sensitive. The bunch is large, the berries are very large, seeded and thin-skinned. The leaves of the vine are wide. Due to the preference of seedless grapes for table grape consumption, its market share in table grapes decreases.[2]
