Triomphe d'Alsace

Triomphe d'Alsace is an early 20th century in the Oberlin Institute in Colmar, Alsace by French breeders Eugène Kuhlmann newly grown red grape variety. It is a cross between (Vitis riparia x Vitis rupestris ) x Knipperlé.

Triomphe d'Alsace is precocious, with high resistance to mildew, as well as against Botrytis cinerea. Thus it can be largely dispensed with pesticides. This species is thus especially suitable for cooler areas. Depending on the configuration creates a full-bodied wine that can be removed reminiscent of a Pinot Noir, but has an unpleasant Fox sound. However, since the berries are small and sweet taste, the grape is sometimes used as a table grape.

Since it is a hybrid vine, the cultivation in the EU was banned in the 1950s, and may only be attached in the trial cultivation. In England, some plantings are known. The grape Regeneron has emerged from the same intersection and is therefore related.
