Savagnin rose is Klevener de Heiligenstein. That is the spelling on the bottle label. It should not be confused with Klevner, which AFAIK is just pinot blanc.

Heiligenstein is the name of the village. 62.72.108.161 14:56, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rewrite

Now that I think I've worked out how all the genetics work, we could do with some references to firm it up! The other 'problem' is that potentially this article actually involves three different grapes - Traminer, Savagnin Blanc and Savagnin Rose. I'm happy to wait for a bit more evidence before splitting it, but there's a case for arguing that if we are to regard it as a 'parent' grape with two mutants, then it should probably be under Traminer if anything. I'd be interested in any more DNA/biochemical evidence on the relationship between Traminer and Savignan Blanc, it seems that Scienza et al know more than the mighty Galet!

If the two are distinct clones, it would then be interesting to see any evidence that links the red mutant more closely to Traminer or Savignan Blanc.

Obviously could do with some photos of the grapes/vines as well. FlagSteward 02:46, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
