André

This red grape variety is a new cross between Blaufränkisch x St. Laurent. Synonyms are Andrea and Semenac A 16-76. The cross was made in 1960 by Jaroslav Horák in Velke Pavlovice in Czechoslovakia. It was named in honour of the natural scientist Christian Carl André (1763-1831), the founder of the Association for the Promotion of Fruit and Grapevine Breeding in Brno. Plant variety protection was granted in 1980. The Zweigelt variety also originated from the same parents (albeit in the opposite direction of crossing).

Due to the similarity in name, it should not be confused with table grape Andre. The André variety was a crossing partner in the two new varieties Agni and Rubinet.
