Life Style / Wine Grapes / Merzling: This variety, released from the Freiburg State Wine Institute, Germany, has the synonym names FR 993-60 or Freiburg 993-60. It is derived from a Seyval Blanc x (Riesling x Pinot Gris) cross. The named cultivar was originally designed to be further crossed with the Cabernet Sauvignon variety in order to produce a red-wine grape best suited to the german Alsace region climate and resistant to the common Mildew diseases but, based on its parentage, would seem suitable for creating its own quaffable varietal white wine.
