Segalin
Segalin is a red wine variety . It is a new breed of INRA Montpellier ( Institut National de la Recherche en Agronomie ) between the grape varieties Jurançon Noir x Blauer Portugieser. The crossing took place in 1980 by the French ampelographer Paul Truel on the grounds of the Domaine de Vassal, the test winery of the INRA Montpellier. Since the variety ripens very early, the risk of frosts in autumn and raw rot is minimized.
The wines are deep red, rich in tannins and have a pleasant aroma.
In France , about 15 hectares of vineyards were planted with Segalin in 2002 . See also the article Viticulture in France and the list of grape varieties .
- Synonyms: strain number INRA 1377-174 (crossing number 1377, plant 174 of the series).
- Parentage: Jurançon Noir x Blauer Portugieser
Ampelographic varietal characteristics
In ampelography , the habitus is described as follows:
- The shoot tip is open. It is very hairy whitish.
- The dark green leaves (see also the leaf shape article ) are five-lobed and have a medium-deep cave. The stem bay closed in a U-shape. The leaf margin is serrated medium thick.
- The cone-shaped grape is medium-sized, shouldered and dense berries. The round berries are small and black and blue in color.
Segalin is prone to stalk paralysis and suffers from a magnesium deficiency .
In France, 1 clone, number 745, has so far been selected and recognized.
The Segalin grape variety ripens almost at the same time as the Gutedel and is therefore very early for a red grape variety.
