Randomly selected for you

Herbemont d'Aurelles

The grape varieties Herbemont d’Aurelles 1 and Herbemont d’Aurelles 2 originate from Algeria. They are open-pollinated seedlings of the Herbemont variety. The parent variety is therefore unknown. The selection was made by the namesake breeder M. d’Aurelles de Paladines. A Herbemont d’Aurelles was a parent variety in the new breeding Excelsior (1). In 2016, no stocks were reported (Statistics Kym Anderson).
