Catuai
About
Catuai is a cross between Mundo Novo and Caturra, developed by the Instituto Agronomico de Campinas (IAC) in Brazil in the 1960s. Combining Mundo Novo's vigor with Caturra's compact stature, Catuai is highly productive and resistant to wind damage thanks to its strong cherry-to-branch attachment. The cup profile is clean and sweet with moderate acidity, and both red and yellow cherry variants exist.
