Triomphe d'Alsace

The red grape variety is an interspecific new variety between M.G. 101-14 S.P. (Riparia x Rupestris) x Knipperlé. Synonyms are Kuhlmann 319-3, Marshal Fosh, Triomphe, Triumph d'Alsace and Triumph of Alsace. Genes of Vitis riparia, Vitis rupestris and Vitis vinifera are included. The hybrids were crossed at the beginning of the 20th century at the Oberlin Institute in Colmar-Alsace by the French breeder Eugène Kuhlmann (1858-1932). Incidentally, the same parents also produced the new variety Neron. This very early-maturing variety is resistant to both powdery mildew and botrytis. It produces dark-coloured red wines similar to Pinot Noir, but with a subtle Fox tone. It is mainly used as a wine grape, but also as table grape. The variety is cultivated in small quantities in England, Denmark, Canada (3 ha), the Netherlands and Switzerland (0.2 ha). In 2016, 3 hectares of vines were designated (Kym Anderson).
