An interspecific cross between merzling and rondo obtained in 1975 by Norbert Becker of the Freiburg Research Institute in Germany. It has the particularity of having only one gene for resistance to mildew and powdery mildew. However, the I.N.R.A. Bordeaux Sciences Agro has since noted a loss of efficiency on mildew due to a bypass. It can be found in Denmark, the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, Italy, England, etc. It is not very widespread today and is almost unknown in France. It should not be confused with another variety of the same name, which comes from a Pinot Blanc seedling, also obtained in Germany by Johann Philipp Bronner.
Germany - famous primarily for the world-class Grape/riesling">Riesling produced in its Mosel region - is entering a New phase in its wine history. At the beginning of the 21st century, the country's winemakers are convincingly proving that they are good for more than just Mosel Riesling. High-quality German Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir) is now emerging from various regions, including Baden, the Palatinate and even the tiny Ahr Valley. Overlooking a much lesser period of glory - the 1970s and 1980s - Germany has a Long and illustrious history of viticulture.
