Cascade

The red grape variety is a complex interspecific hybrid between Seibel 7042 x Seibel 5409 (Gloire de Seibel). Synonyms include Ivan, Cascade, and Seibel 13053. It contains genes from Vitis aestivalis, Vitis berlandieri, Vitis cinerea, Vitis labrusca, Vitis lincecumii, Vitis riparia, Vitis rupestris, and Vitis vinifera. The crossing of the hybrid took place in the early 20th century in France by Albert Seibel (1844-1936). It was a crossing partner in the breeding of L’Acadie Blanc. The early ripening, frost-resistant vine is resilient against both mildew types and Botrytis, but susceptible to viruses. It produced light red, fragrant wines with pronounced Foxton, which are mainly used for blends. The variety is cultivated on 22 hectares of vineyard area in Japan (Hokkaido). Small stocks also exist in Canada and the northeastern USA, especially Oregon (Kym Anderson). Images: Ursula Brühl, Doris Schneider, Julius Kühn-Institut (JKI)

Dear Sir or Madam, if I were to rate websites, you would deserve the highest rating. It is rare to come across websites that provide such a wealth of data and are still so intuitive to use. Respect for the lovingly researched and informatively prepared encyclopedia. An excellent idea. Very inspiring and up-to-date. Keep it up, thank you!
