Alicante Ganzin

The red grape variety is a new breeding between Aramon Rupestris - Ganzin 4 (Aramon Noir x Rupestris Ganzin) x Alicante Henri Bouschet. It contains genes from Vitis rupestris and Vitis vinifera. The crossing of the hybrids took place in 1886 in France by the breeder Victor Ganzin Victor (1838-1900). The vine is very sensitive to both mildew. It produces deep dark red wines, which is why it was used for breeding teinturier; among others by Harold Olmo Harold (1909-2006) at Royalty and Rubired. The French breeder Albert Seibel (1844-1936) used it in some new breeds, such as Gloire de Seibel. It was also used as rootstock & rootstock vine. The variety is no longer significant; in 2016, no stock was reported (Kym Anderson Kym).
