The white grape variety is a complex, interspecific new breeding between Seibel 788 (Sicilien x Clairette Dorée Ganzin) x Seibel 29 (Munson x Vinifera). It was named after the Roman goddess of dawn. Synonyms are Aurora, Feri Szölö, Financ Szölö, Fruttato, Redei, S-5279, Seibel 13047 and Seibel 5279. Genes of Vitis aestivalis, Vitis rupestris and Vitis vinifera are included. The hybrid was crossed by the breeder Albert Seibel (1844-1936). It was a crossing partner of the new varieties Reflex, Reform, Refrén and Tissier Ravat. There are three new crosses under the name Aurora.
Serious sources on the internet are rare - and Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one such source. When researching for my articles, I regularly consult the wein.plus encyclopaedia. There I get reliable and detailed information.
