Affenthaler

The red grape variety probably originates from Germany. Synonyms are Blauer Affenthaler, Kleiner Trollinger, Morillon Aigret, Pineau Aigret, Säuerlicher Burgunder and Schwarzblauer Affenthaler.

According to DNA analyses carried out in 2018, the variety arose from a presumably natural cross between Gouais Blanc (White Heunisch) x Süßschwarz. However, this is based on only 20 DNA markers (see Molecular genetics). In other DNA analyses, the father variety could not be determined.
