Alicante Ganzin

The red grape variety is a new variety between Aramon Rupestris - Ganzin 4 (Aramon Noir x Rupestris Ganzin) x Alicante Henri Bouschet. It contains genes from Vitis rupestris and Vitis vinifera. The hybrid was crossed in France in 1886 by grower Victor Ganzin 1838-1900).

Alicante Ganzin - Trauben

Characteristics

The vine is very sensitive to powdery mildew (Oidium) and downy mildew (Peronospora). It produces deep, dark red wines, which is why it was used for the cultivation of teinturier varieties, including by Harold Olmo (1909-2006) at Royalty and Rubired. The French grower Albert Seibel (1844-1936) used it for some new varieties, such as Gloire de Seibel. It was also used as a rootstock.
