The white grape variety is a new cross between (Cinsaut x Csaba Gyöngye) x Cardinal. The parent variety mentioned in the breeding list could not be clearly identified in DNA analyses carried out in 2013. The cross was made in France in 1968 by the French ampelographer Paul Truel (1924-2014) at the Domaine de Vassal. It is mainly used as table grape. The variety is grown in Corsica and in the Languedoc-Roussillon region. In 2016, 32 hectares of vines were planted (Kym Anderson statistics).
As honorary chairman of the Domäne Wachau, it is the easiest and quickest way for me to access the wein.plus encyclopaedia when I have questions. The certainty of receiving well-founded and up-to-date information here makes it an indispensable guide.
