Madeleine Angevine

Madeleine x Angevine 7672 / Sämling 7672

The variety called ‘Madeleine Angevine’ in the UK is more properly called Madeleine x Angevine 7672. 

In 1957 Ray Brock at Oxted was sent cuttings of several varieties by Dr. Zimmerman from Alzey and one of them was labelled ‘Sämling [seedling] 7672’.

Just when this crossing was made is not known, although the timing would suggest that it was while Georg Scheu – responsible for varieties such as Huxelrebe, Faberrebe, Kanzler, Regner, Scheurebe, Septimer, Siegerrebe and Würzer – was the Alzey Institute's Director. By 1960 Brock was able to report that it was giving large crops which ripen with Riesling Sylvaner [MT]. Considered to be a promising variety. Not having been given the crossing details of Sämling 7672, Brock wrote to Zimmerman and asked for them. He was informed that it was a ‘freely pollinated seedling of Madeleine Angevine’. When Brock started to sell cuttings of the variety (as he did with all promising varieties) he gave it the name Madeleine x Angevine 7672 and it was under this name that it was known for many years.

As it became quite popular, the name on wine labels became shortened to simply ‘Madeleine Angevine’.
