Discover the grape variety: Bronner

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.
