C tier
Extase (often KWS Extase) is a modern high-yielding winter wheat popular in the United Kingdom and northwest Europe, valued for strong agronomy, disease resistance, and versatile milling quality spanning feed to bread-making groups depending on season and specification. It is a contemporary commercial cultivar rather than a landrace. Millers use Extase lots that meet bread or biscuit protein targets for industrial and craft flour streams. Growers favour it for reliable field performance in maritime climates.
