The red grape variety is an interspecific new breed between Kolor x Chancellor. Synonyms or breeding numbers are Geisenheim 8230-2 and GM 8230-2. The crossing took place in 1982 at the research institute Geisenheim (Germany); the variety protection was granted in 2007. The late-ripening vine is resistant to downy (high) and powdery mildew (sufficient) and, due to the loose berry structure and firm stems, is less susceptible to Botrytis. It is therefore classified as one of the PIWI varieties. Due to the high proportion of anthocyanins in the skins and pulp, it produces tannin-rich, dark red wines with vanilla aroma, which are suitable as teinturier. In 2016, one hectare of vineyard area was recorded in the Rheingau (Statistics Kym Anderson). Images: Ursula Brühl, Doris Schneider, Julius Kühn Institute (JKI).
