The red grape variety (breeding number We 70-77-4 F) is a new variety between Blaufränkisch x Teinturier du Cher according to DNA analyses carried out in 2012. The Cabernet Sauvignon indicated as the parent variety in the breeding list turned out to be incorrect. The cross was made in 1970 by grower Helmut Schleip and Bernd H. E. Hill at the Staatliche Lehr- und Versuchsanstalt für Wein- und Obstbau in Weinsberg (Württemberg). Plant variety protection was granted in 2001. Incidentally, the same parents also created the new Palas variety.

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!
