Discover the grape variety: Couderc 4401

An interspecific cross made in 1884 by Georges Couderc (1850-1928) between chasselas rose and rupestris. This direct-producing hybrid was multiplied much more in the south-west of France and in the Loire Valley, and in some cases was even used as rootstock. François Baco (1865-1947) and Vincent Malègue (1830-1915) also used it as a progenitor. - Synonymy: red bird, tank, Terray hybrid, malafosse, oazo rukh, sakhotin (for all the grape variety synonyms, click here!). - Description: small to medium-sized bunches, cylindrical-conical, winged, more or less compact, sometimes with small green berries, medium-sized stalks remaining green when ripe; small, spherical berries, beautiful bluish-black skin, very pruinose, pulpy, with coloured juice.
