Black Prince

The red grape variety possibly originates from South America. Synonyms are Criolla Mediana 2, Dolcino, Laurenzana, Rosa del Perú, Rose of Peru, San Francisco, Santa Chiara, Uva Criolla San Francisco and Uva San Francisco.

Parentage

According to DNA analyses carried out in 2013, it originates from a presumably natural cross between Mission (Listán Prieto) x Muscat d'Alexandrie (see also under Criolla). It should not be confused with the Australian variety of the same name Black Prince (Merbein), the Ukrainian table grape variety Black Prence or the French variety Cinsaut (synonym Black Prince). There may be a genetic link to the Argentinian variety Moscatel Rosada (with the synonym Rose of Peru). It is a parent of the new cultivars Black Defiance and Black Eagle.
