They are all resistant to phylloxera

Are you on the lookout for special grape varieties that are resistant to the dreaded phylloxera? Then all breeds offered in Germany meet this requirement. After the devastating pest epidemics in the 18th and 19th centuries, only grape varieties grafted on resistant rootstocks are allowed.
