Some grapes of the Red Globe variety

Red Globe is a red table grape . It is a new breed between L12-80 x S45-48. The crossing took place in 1957 by Harold Olmo and his assistant Albert T. Koyama at the University of California at Davis . After 298 seedlings were planted on the Sierra Vista Ranch of the Di Giorgio Fruit Corporation, the most suitable plants were selected on May 27, 1958. The grape variety was only launched in 1981. It is used as a table grape and has quickly spread as a popular table grape.

distribution

In 2007 in California alone ( viticulture in California ) 12,519 acres (approx. 5,057 hectares ) were planted with the Red Globe variety. There are also known plantings in Chile (5,785 hectares, as of 2006), Argentina and South Africa . It is also approved in Spain , Italy and Portugal . It was planted in Italy from 1990, now (as of 2011) production already accounts for 10% of the total table grape production (mainly in the Apulia region , smaller areas also in Sicily ). The acreage of table grapes in southern Italy is shrinking overall (2006: 70,900 ha, 2009: 67,900 ha, 2010: 66,700 ha, 2011: 57,900 ha, 2012: 50,200 ha), while the acreage of Red Globe is increasing (2011: 5,700 ha).

Ampelographic varietal characteristics

In ampelography , the habitus is described as follows:

  • The shoot tip is open. It is only hairy or almost hairless. The young leaves are hairless and slightly copper-colored.
  • The medium-sized leaves are five-lobed and indented to a medium depth. The stem bay is closed elliptically. The blade is bluntly serrated. The teeth are medium in size compared to other varieties. The leaf surface (also called the leaf blade) is smooth. In autumn the leaves turn pale yellow.
  • The cone-shaped grape is large to very large (it can often weigh up to a kilogram) and has loose berries. The round to slightly oval berries are also very large and light red to dark red in color. The berry peel is thick and crisp. In the berry there are 3 - 5 four × nine mm large kernels, some of which are only slightly developed.

The moderately vigorous grape variety ripens around 25 days after the Gutedel and is therefore late-ripening. However, it ripens 15 days earlier than the once very successful Emperor grape variety.
