The red grape variety (also Ju Feng Noir) is an interspecific new breeding between Kyoho x Jixiang. The father variety is a mutation of Bai Xiang Qiao, the common name for the Triumph variety in China. It contains genes from Vitis labrusca and Vitis vinifera. The hybrid was crossed in 1973 at the Dalian Institute in China. The variety is widely cultivated in China as table grape. No stocks were reported in 2016 (Kym Anderson).
As honorary chairman of the Domäne Wachau, it is the easiest and quickest way for me to access the wein.plus encyclopaedia when I have questions. The certainty of receiving well-founded and up-to-date information here makes it an indispensable guide.
