The red grape variety originates from France. Synonyms are Estronc, Morot and Vermeil. According to DNA analyses carried out in 2013, it originates from a presumably natural cross between Fer x Prunelard. However, this is based on only 20 DNA markers (see Molecular genetics). No stocks were reported in 2016 (Kym Anderson).

For me, Lexicon from wein.plus is the most comprehensive and best source of information about wine currently available.
