The red grape variety (breeding no. GM 8331-1, Geisenheim 8331-1) is an interspecific new variety between Chancellor (Seibel 7053) x Rondo. It contains genes from Vitis aestivalis, Vitis amurensis, Vitis labrusca, Vitis rupestris and Vitis vinifera. The hybrid was crossed in 1983 at the Geisenheim Research Centre in Rheingau, Germany. It was entered in the variety register and granted plant variety protection in 2009.

Characteristics

The medium-ripening vine is particularly resistant to powdery and downy mildew and also moderately resistant to botrytis, which is why it is considered a PIWI variety. It is also resistant to frost and grape rot. The variety produces ruby-coloured, spicy red wines with mild tannins and aromas of ripe red fruit.
