French term

ailées (in context)

French to English Marketing Food & Drink
This is in a text about cognac production. This grape produces really big bunches of grapes, but what can "ailées" mean? Surey not garlicky?

L'ugni blanc (grape variety) porte de grandes grappes ailées.
Thanks in advance,
Proposed translations (English)
4 +7 winged
4 +2 winged bunch

winged

Winged grapes = a variety of grapes
I think u might have confused aillé (garlicky) and ailé (winged)

Just in case it has escaped someone\'s attention, \'grappe\' in French means \'bunch\' in English, not \'grape\' which is \'raisin\'...
