Roucaneuf

The red grape variety is an interspecific new breeding between Seibel 6468 x Seibel 6905 (Subereux). Synonyms or breeding numbers are SV 12-309, Seiv-Villar 12-309 and Seyve Villard 12-309. It contains genes from Vitis berlandieri, Vitis labrusca, Vitis lincecumii, Vitis rupestris and Vitis vinifera. The hybrid was crossed by the French breeder Bertille Seyve (1864-1939) at the Seyve-Villard vineyard. It was a crossing partner for the two new varieties Riesling Magaracha and Riesus. The vine is resistant to Pierce's disease. It produces fruity red wines. It is particularly suitable for hot and dry regions and is mainly cultivated in the USA Gulf Coast region. However, no stocks were reported in 2016 (Kym Anderson statistics).
