Red Globe

The grape variety is a new breed between Olmo L 12-80 x ((Hunisa x Emperor) x Nocera). Synonyms are 10-23D, Globo Rojo, Hong Ti Qui, and Rose LTO. The crossing took place in 1957 at the University of California by the breeder Harold P. Olmo Harold (1909-2006). The red-berried variety is mainly used as table grape. The market introduction took place in 1981 in the country of origin California. There it has displaced the variety Emperor and occupies over 5,000 hectares of vineyard area as a table grape. Furthermore, it is grown as a table grape in Argentina, Chile (6,000 ha), Italy (6,000 ha), and South Africa. As a wine grape, it is used in Ethiopia (2 ha) and Peru (240 ha). In 2016, 242 hectares of vineyard area were reported (Statistics Kym Anderson Kym).
