The red grape variety is an interspecific new variety between Millardet et Grasset 101 O.P. x Knipperlé. Synonyms or breeding numbers are 319-3, Kuhlmann 319-3, Marshal Fosh, Triomphe, Triumph d'Alsace, Triumpf vom Alsace and Triumph vom Alsace. It contains genes from Vitis riparia, Vitis rupestris and Vitis vinifera. The hybrid was crossed at the beginning of the 20th century at the Oberlin Institute in Colmar-Alsace by the French grower Eugène Kuhlmann (1858-1932). The new variety Neron was also created from the same parents.

In the past, you needed a wealth of encyclopaedias and specialist literature to keep up to date in your vinophile professional life. Today, Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one of my best helpers and can rightly be called the "bible of wine knowledge".
