Lucie Kuhlmann

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lucie Kuhlmann is a red wine variety that was newly bred in 1911 at the Oberlin Institute in Colmar , Alsace, by the French breeder Eugène Kuhlmann ( 1858 - 1932 ) . It is a cross between (Vitis riparia x Vitis rupestris) x Goldriesling and was sold from 1921.

Lucie Kuhlmann ripens early, with high resistance to fungi against real and downy mildew as well as against Botrytis cinerea . This means that plant protection products can largely be dispensed with. This variety is especially suitable for cooler areas because of its early ripeness. Depending on the expansion, a strong wine with a light Fox tone is created .

In Canada , it is cultivated in the wine-growing regions of Nova Scotia, Ontario and Quebec. Since it is a hybrid grape , cultivation was banned in Germany in the 1930s and may only be grown in experimental cultivation.

The grape varieties Léon Millot , Lucie-Kuhlmann and Maréchal Foch have emerged from the same cross and are therefore related. However, compared to the other varieties, Lucie Kuhlmann has a somewhat firmer tannin structure.

The grape variety was named after Eugène Kuhlmann's wife, Ms. Lucie Kuhlmann.
