Monarch

There are two grape varieties with this name:

Monarch - Germany

The red grape variety (breeding no. FR 487-88 R) is a new variety between Solaris x Dornfelder. It contains genes from Vitis amurensis, Vitis lincecumii, Vitis rupestris and Vitis vinifera. The hybrid was crossed in 1988 by Norbert Becker (1937-2012) at the Freiburg Institute of Viticulture. The late-maturing, frost-hardy vine is resistant to both types of mildew. It produces intensely coloured, tannin-rich red wines. There are stocks in Germany (11 hectares), Italy and Switzerland (2 hectares). In 2018, 13 hectares of vineyards were designated (D-STATIS).
