Tressot Panaché

The red grape variety originates from France. Synonyms are A Tre Colori, Ballon de Suisse, Bicolor, Bizzarria, Mondwein, Morillon Panaché, Raisin Panaché, Schweitzer, Tressot Bigarré (bigarre = variegated), Tressot Lune and Zweifarbiger Morillon. It is a colour mutation of the French variety Tressot Noir. The special feature is that the grapes can have white, blue or blue-white sectored berries in stripes. The second part of the name is also derived from this (panaché = mixed). The leaves can also be striped in autumn. The variety became known as a curiosity as early as the 16th century. Today it is nearly extinct; no stock was reported in 20160 (Kym Anderson).
