Registration Status	Registered
Source	Department of Viticulture & Enology, University of California, Davis
Comments	The plant material for this selection was planted in 1956 in the Armstrong vineyard (location H94 v1-2) on the UC Davis campus. That vineyard was managed by the Department of Viticulture & Enology. The original material from location H94 v1-2 came to Foundation Plant Services in the 1960's for treatment and testing and initially underwent heat treatment for 145 days. After successful completion of testing, the selection was planted in the old FPS foundation vineyard in 1965 as Richter 99 FPS 01A. The plant pathologist associated with Foundation Plant Services at the time, Dr. Austin Goheen, also assigned the name 'superclone #133' to this selection in the 1970's. Richter 99 FPS 01A was planted in the Classic Foundation Vineyard in 1984.
