Seibel

Collective term for a variety of French hybrids that were crossed between European vines and American vines varieties. They were created by the French breeder Albert Seibel (1844-1936) in the municipality of Saint-Julien-en-Saint-Alban (Department Ardèche), where today a street is named in his honor. He was one of the first in France to produce new varieties on a large scale in the truest sense of the word. This also occurred before the phylloxera that reached France in the mid-19th century. When the cause of the vineyard death was recognized after a long time, crossings between American vines and European vines varieties were one of the many (generally unsuccessful) attempts to cope with the rapidly spreading disaster.
