Munson

The red grape variety is an interspecific new breeding between Jaeger 43 x Rupestris. It contains genes from Vitis lincecumii and Vitis rupestris. The crossing of the hybrids was carried out by the US breeder Hermann Jaeger Hermann (1844-1895) in Missouri, who named it Jaeger 70 and later after his friend Thomas V. Munson Thomas Volney (1843-1913). It is a purely female grape varieties. It has a high resilience against the phylloxera. The French breeder Albert Seibel (1844-1936) used the vine for many of his French hybrids. In the USA, it is mainly used as table grape. Under the name Jaeger 70, it was used as a crossing partner for the new breeds Couderc Noir, Flot Rouge, Othello Petit, Roi des Noirs, Rosette (grape variety), Rougeon, Salvador Noire, and Vivarais. In 2016, no stocks were reported (Kym Anderson Kym).
