The red grape variety is an interspecific new variety between Cabernet Sauvignon x Cabernet Severny. Synonyms are Cabernet Jura 5-02, Valentin Blattner 5-02 and VB 5-02, which contain genes from Vitis amurensis and Vitis vinifera. The hybrid was crossed in 1991 by grower Valentin Blattner in Soyhières in the Swiss canton of Jura and selected at vine nursery Freytag in Neustadt/Lachen-Speyerdorf (Palatinate, Germany).

The medium-ripening, frost-hardy vine is resistant to both mildew and botrytis, which is why it is considered a PIWI variety. It produces intensely coloured, aromatic red wines with a subtle muscat tone.

If I were to rate websites, you would deserve the highest rating. It is rare to come across websites that provide such a large amount of data and are still so intuitive to use. Respect for the lovingly researched and informatively prepared encyclopedia. Keep it up!
