The red grape variety (also SV 18-283) is an interspecific new variety between Seibel 7053 (Chancellor) x Seibel 6905 (Subereux). It contains genes from Vitis labrusca, Vitis lincecumii, Vitis rupestris and Vitis vinifera. The hybrid was crossed by Bertille Seyve (1864-1939) in the famous French vine breeding company Seyve-Villard. Incidentally, the same parents also produced the Villard Noir variety. A direct descendant is the Rosina variety (2). This high-yielding and heat-resistant vine produces light red wines. It used to be popular in southern France and occupied 5,000 hectares of vineyards towards the end of the 1960s. Due to the EU ban on hybrids, it was almost completely uprooted. However, it has been allowed again since 2008 and occupied 10 hectares in 2016. It is also cultivated in the USA, Australia and Brazil. However, no populations have been reported here (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.
