The launch of the vine occurred only in 1981. It is used as a table grape and has quickly spread as a popular table grape.

Dissemination

In 2007 were planted with the variety Red Globe in California alone (viticulture in California ) 12,519 acre (about 5057 hectares). Besides plantations in Chile ( 5,785 acres, 2006), Argentina and South Africa are known. Admitted she is also in Spain, Italy and Portugal. In Italy, it was planted in 1990, is now (as of 2011 ) makes the production already 10 % of the total production of table grapes (mostly in the Apulia region, small areas in Sicily). The acreage of table grapes in southern Italy overall shrinking (2006: 70,900 ha, 2009: 67,900 ha, 2010: 66,700 ha, 2011: 57,900 ha, 2012: 50,200 ha), in contrast, the acreage of Red Globe is increasing (2011: 5,700 ha).

Ampelographic varietal characteristics

In the ampelography the habit is described as follows:

• The shoot tip is open. It is only spinnwebig hairy or nearly hairless. The young leaves are copper-colored hair smooth and easy.
• The medium-sized leaves are five-lobed and sinuate medium low. The petiole is elliptical closed. The blade is serrated blunt. The teeth are medium in size compared to other varieties. The leaf surface (also called leaf blade ) is smooth. In autumn the leaves turn helbgelb.
• The cone-shaped clusters are large to very large ( it can often be hard up to one kilogram ) and loose-. The roundish to slightly oval berries are also very large and light red to dark red. The berry skin is thick and crisp. 5 × four nine mm wide cores, some of which are formed only little - in the berry to 3 are located.

The moderately vigorous vine ripens about 25 days after Chasselas and is therefore late maturing. However, it ripens 15 days earlier than the previously very successful grape Emperor.
