Ribol
Ribol is a red wine variety . It is a new breed of INRA Montpellier ( Institut National de la Recherche en Agronomie ) between the grape varieties Olivette Noire × Alphonse Lavallée. The crossing took place in 1958 by the French ampelographer Paul Truel on the grounds of the Domaine de Vassal, the test winery of INRA Montpellier. Together with the Danlas and Lival varieties , Ribol was part of a program to complement the French range of table grapes . Ribol is also approved for commercial cultivation in Portugal.
In France , about 180 hectares of vineyards were planted with Ribol in 1981 . However, the acreage declined later.

Ampelographic varietal characteristics
In ampelography , the habitus is described as follows:
- The green young leaves are spotted bronze (anthocyanin spots).
- The leaves (see also the article leaf shape ) are three-lobed to five and moderately deeply indented. The stem bay is open in a V-shape. The leaf margin is serrated to a point. The teeth are medium-sized compared to the grape varieties. The leaf surface (also called blade) is hardly blistered.
- The grapes are medium to large in size and weigh an average of 360 g. The slightly elongated berries are large and blue-black in color.
The Ribol grape ripens around 30 days after the Gutedel and is therefore considered to ripen late for a red grape variety.
