Muscadelle Selections

Information about: Clonal Families, Selection Numbers and Registration Status

	Muscadelle [02]
Registration Status	Registered
Source	France via Oregon State University
Comments	The original plant material that is the source of this selection came to Foundation Plant Services in 1989 from the short-lived quarantine program at Oregon State University. Oregon State University obtained the selection from the Chambre d'Agriculture de la Gironde, France, as part of the Winegrowers' Project to bring French selections to the United States. The original material (which was designated Muscadelle FPS 01) underwent microshoot tip tissue culture therapy at FPS in 1997. The treated material successfully completed testing and qualified for the foundation vineyard in 2001 as Muscadelle FPS 02.
