Rúbea

The red grape variety (also BRS Rúbea) is an interspecific new variety between Niagara Branca (Niagara) x Ives (Bordô). It contains genes from Vitis labrusca and Vitis vinifera. The hybrid was crossed in 1965 at the Brazilian Agricultural Research Agency in Brazil. It was a crossing partner of the new varieties Carmem, Cora, Magna and Violeta. The vine produces wines with a foxtone. In 2016, 181 hectares of vineyard were designated here (Kym Anderson).
