Etoile I

The red grape variety (also Kuhlmann 237-1) is an interspecific new variety between Millardet et Grasset 101-14 (Riparia x Rupestris ) x Goldriesling (1). It contains genes from Vitis riparia, Vitis rupestris and Vitis vinifera. The hybrid was crossed at the beginning of the 20th century at the Oberlin Institute in Colmar-Alsace by the French breeder Eugène Kuhlmann (1858-1932). Incidentally, the same parents also produced the six new varieties Etoile II, Léon Millot, Lucie Kuhlmann, Maréchal Foch, Maréchal Joffre and Pinard. The early-maturing vine is resistant to frost and fungal diseases and yields velvety red wines. However, no stocks were reported in 2016 (Kym Anderson).
