Bellandais

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bellandais is a red wine variety bred by the French breeder Albert Seibel at the beginning of the 20th century . It is a cross between Seibel 6468 and Seibel 5455 and belongs to the large family of Seibel vines . It is an extremely complex breed in which genes from the wild grapes Vitis labrusca , Vitis rupestris , Vitis aestivalis , Vitis cinerea , Vitis berlandieri and Vitis vinifera are present. In 1960, the area under vines in France was 105 hectares .

Bellandais sprouts late, with good fungal resistance to powdery mildew ( powdery mildew and downy mildew of grapevines ) as well as to Botrytis cinerea . On the other hand, it is susceptible to rot . Depending on how it is matured, the result is a light red, simple wine with an unpleasant Fox tone . The wine is therefore usually only used in blends with other grape varieties. Bulgaria and Italy are known to have small vineyards .

Since it is a hybrid vine , cultivation was banned in the EU in the 1950s and may only be cultivated in experimental cultivation. Bellandais has hermaphroditic flowers and is therefore self-fruiting. In viticulture , the economic disadvantage of not having to grow male plants that produce yield is avoided.
