The red grape variety (also Geilweilerhof 4-26-4) is a new breeding between Blauer Portugieser x Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir), which was confirmed by DNA analyses published in 2012. However, this is based on only 17 DNA markers (see under molecular genetics). The crossing was done by Peter Morio (1887-1960) and Bernhard Husfeld (1900-1970) at the Geilweilerhof in Siebeldingen-Pfalz. The variety yields deep red wines, therefore it is potentially very suitable as a teinturier (dyer grape). However, no stocks were reported in 2016 (Kym Anderson statistics).

The glossary is a monumental achievement and one of the most important contributions to wine knowledge. Of all the encyclopaedias I use on the subject of wine, it is by far the most important. That was the case ten years ago and it hasn't changed since.
