Prior - Weintraube und Blatt

The hybrid was crossed in 1987 by Norbert Becker (1937-2012) at the State Viticulture Institute in Freiburg. The early to medium-ripening vine is resistant to frost and downy mildew, but susceptible to powdery mildew and botrytis. It produces intensely coloured, tannin-rich red wines. In Germany, it is cultivated on 13 hectares in the Baden and Rheinhessen growing regions. There are also small populations in Switzerland (1 hectare) and Italy. In 2016, a total of 14 hectares of vineyards were designated (Kym Anderson statistics).
