Abstract

‘Müller-Thurgau’ has recently been proven to be a cross between ‘Riesling’ and ‘Madeleine Royale’, a 19th century cross whose parents are unknown. Parentage analysis based on 93 grape cultivars of central Europe genotyped at 57 microsatellites provides here evidence that ‘Madeleine Royale’ = ‘Pinot’ × ‘Schiava Grossa’. Since ‘Riesling’ is known to be a progeny of ‘Gouais Blanc’, ‘Müller-Thurgau’ is therefore a grandchild of ‘Pinot’ (either ‘Pinot’ noir, gris or blanc), ‘Schiava Grossa’ (or ‘Frankenthaler’ or ‘Trollinger’) and ‘Gouais Blanc’ (or ‘Heunisch Weiss’).
