Garonnet

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Garonnet is a red wine variety . It is an interspecific new breed ( hybrid vine ) between Chancellor and Seibel 6905. The crossing took place at the Seyve-Villard vineyard in the municipality of Saint Vallier in the Drôme department . The Villard Noir grape variety comes from the same cross .

At the end of the 1960s, the Garonnet vineyards in France were still over 4,900 hectares . Due to formerly applicable EU regulations (hybrid vines are prohibited for the production of quality wines), however, the vines were almost completely cleared. In 1988 about 56 hectares of planted vineyards were still registered. According to a decree of April 18, 2008, the grape variety is again one of the officially approved grape varieties for commercial cultivation, since the genome of the plant contains parts of the noble grape Vitis vinifera . The high-yielding and heat-resistant variety is still grown today in the southwest of the USA, Australia and Brazil. It produces light-colored red wines with a simple character.

Ampelographic varietal characteristics

In ampelography , the habitus is described as follows:

  • The shoot tip is open. It is hairy and of a light green color. The green young leaves are hairless.
  • The leaves are five-lobed and clearly indented (see also the article leaf shape ). The stalk bay is closed lyren-shaped. The blade is bluntly serrated. The teeth are set medium-wide compared to other grape varieties. The leaf surface is blistered and coarse.
  • The conical to cylindrical grape is large and dense. The oval berries are small and black and blue in color.

The variety sprouts late and is therefore not sensitive to late spring frosts. It ripens about 5 days after the Gutedel and is therefore considered to ripen early. Ganson 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.
