Rubilande

The white grape variety (also Seibel 11-803) is an interspecific new variety between Seibel 2859 (Bienvenu) x Seibel 4643 (Roi des Noirs). It contains genes from Vitis aestivalis, Vitis cinerea, Vitis lincecumii, Vitis rupestris and Vitis vinifera. The red-berry hybrid was crossed by the French breeder Albert Seibel (1844-1936). The vine is resistant to anthracnose and downy mildew, but susceptible to chlorosis and botrytis. It is also used as table grape. The variety was a crossing partner in the new varieties Oeillade de Conzieu and Swenson Red. At the end of the 1950s, it still occupied over 700 hectares in France. Today, however, it is only grown in small quantities in the department of Vendée (Loire). In 2016, seven hectares of vines were designated (Kym Anderson statistics).
