Gros Manseng - Weintraube und Blatt

Parentage

A Manseng variety was first mentioned in 1562 in Jurançon by a "vinhe mansengue". However, it was not until 1783 that a distinction was made in a text between Petit Manseng (small berries) and Gros Manseng (large berries). The parentage of Gros Manseng is unknown. Petit Manseng, on the other hand, comes from a natural cross between an unknown parent variety x Savagnin Blanc (Traminer). Gros Manseng was a crossing partner of the new variety Heranecot.

If I were to rate websites, you would deserve the highest rating. It is rare to come across websites that provide such a large amount of data and are still so intuitive to use. Respect for the lovingly researched and informatively prepared encyclopedia. Keep it up!
