The red grape variety (also Georgia 12-2-2) is a new cross between Higgins (Yuga x unknown variety) x Georgia 28. It contains genes from Vitis rotundifolia. The cross was made in the USA in 1960 by the breeder B. O. Fry at the Agricultural Experiment Station University of Georgia. The variety is mainly used as table grape. It is cultivated in the south of the USA in the Gulf States. No stock was recorded in 2016 (Kym Anderson).
The Wine lexicon helps me to keep up to date and refresh my knowledge. Thank you for this Lexicon that will never end in terms of topicality! That's what makes it so exciting to come back often.
