The red grape variety (also Geilweilerhof FS. 4-195-39) is an interspecific new variety between Geisenheim 157 (Riesling x Solonis) x Riesling. It contains genes from Vitis acerifolia, Vitis riparia and Vitis vinifera. The crossing of the hybrids was done by Bernhard Husfeld (1900-1970) at the Institute Geilweilerhof (Pfalz). It is a purely female grape variety. It is used as a wine grape and as a rootstock. In 2016 no stock was reported (Kym Anderson).
The wein.plus encyclopaedia is a comprehensive, well-researched reference work. Available anytime and anywhere, it has become an indispensable part of teaching, used by students and myself alike. Highly recommended!
