The red grape variety is an interspecific new variety between Seibel 4668 x Seibel 6905(Subereux). Synonyms are SV 23-657 and Seyve-Villard 23-657, with genes from Vitis lincecumii, Vitis rupestris and Vitis vinifera. The crossing of the hybrids was done in France by the breeder Bertille Seyve (1864-1939) at the Seyve-Villard vine nursery. The variety was a crossing partner in the new breedings Doina, Muscat Swenson and Rubin Tairovsky. It is grown in small quantities in the two departments of Gard and Hérault. In 2016, a total of five hectares of vineyards were designated in France (Statistical Kym Anderson). There are also plans for further stocks in Madagascar.
The wein.plus encyclopaedia is a comprehensive, well-researched reference work. Available anytime and anywhere, it has become an indispensable part of teaching, used by students and myself alike. Highly recommended!
