A German cross bred for disease resistance, giving a deeply coloured red.
Bred in 1967 at a German grapevine-breeding institute, it was developed to carry resistance to downy and powdery mildew, two of the vine's most damaging diseases. Varieties of this kind attract interest internationally because they allow reduced spraying and can be grown where rainfall is high. The wine is deeply coloured, with black-fruit aromas and gentle tannin. Its relevance to Japan's wet, humid climate is clear, but plantings recorded here remain very limited — currently a producer in Yoichi, Hokkaido.
Notes on aroma and taste describe general tendencies for this grape, not claims about any particular wine — the actual character depends on the producer and how it is made.
Statements of fact — origin, crossing, plant-variety registration and growing regions — have been checked against public bodies, research institutes, or the breeder (2 sources).
