| Comments |
Jancis Robinson indicates (Oxford Companion to Wine, 3d ed.) that this cultivar incorporates every important red wine vine grown in Germany somewhere in its geneology. The reported notable qualities are depth of color and good acidity. It is reported to be an early-ripening red grape. |
