Boulder (grape variety)
Boulders in grape varieties are colloquially known as wild-growing and initially unknown varieties whose origins are unclear. The name is also used as a synonym for well-known grape varieties.
- Franz Kimmig in Oberkirch in Baden-Württemberg selected a variety he had found in 1971. According to DNA analyzes, this is Bouvier , which is still listed under the name “Findling” in Germany's variety register. In the international grape variety database (VIVC) and German grape variety database, it is not listed as a variety, but is a synonym of the Bouvier variety.
- Another boulder is a mutation probably from Müller-Thurgau . The differences are earlier ripening, lower yields and higher must weight. A DNA determination has not yet taken place.
- The Findling von Muhen variety with a dark red berry color comes from Switzerland and is named after the municipality of Muhen in the Aarau district in the canton of Aargau . It was found by a Swiss amateur ampelographer . The vine has its own DNA profile that differs from Müller-Thurgau. The origin (parenthood) is unknown. The variety is listed in the international grape variety database (VIVC) with VIVC No. 41572.
