Muscat Bleu

The red grape variety is an interspecific new variety between Garnier 15/6 (Villard Noir x Müller-Thurgau) x Seyve-Villard 20-347 (Perle Noire). Synonyms are Aromato, Galanth, Garnier 83/2, Muscat Bleu Garnier, Muscat Garnier and Muskat Bleu. Genes of Vitis labrusca, Vitis lincecumii, Vitis rupestris and Vitis vinifera are present. The hybrid was crossed in the 1930s by the private breeder Charles Garnier in the canton of Geneva in Switzerland. The variety Muscat Bleu was a crossing partner in the new varieties Galante, Garantos, Osella and Rosina (1). The early-ripening vine is resistant to frost and both types of mildew, but tends to small berries and trickling. The deep blue coloured grapes have a discreet muscat tone. The variety is used as wine grape and table grape or as an ornamental vine on house walls. In 2016, three hectares of vines were planted in Switzerland, for example in the cantons of Thurgau and Zurich (Kym Anderson statistics). Small areas also exist in Belgium, Germany and Austria.
