The red grape variety (also Dragon Bleu) is an interspecific new variety; however, the parentage is unknown. It probably contains genes from Vitis labrusca and Vitis vinifera. The hybrid was crossed in Quebec-Canada by the private breeder Mario Cliche. The high-yielding vine produces red wines with a foxy. It is grown in small quantities in eastern Canada. However, no stocks were reported in 2016 (Kym Anderson statistics).

In the past, you needed a wealth of encyclopaedias and specialist literature to keep up to date in your vinophile professional life. Today, Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one of my best helpers and can rightly be called the "bible of wine knowledge".
