Whether we call these grape varieties hybrids or fungus resistant, we must talk about them. That is what an association called Vitis Batardus Liberata (freely translated: Release the fake Vitis) thinks. Behind the association is a group of French natural wine producers from mainly Beaujolais and Jura.
These producers have tried fungus-resistant hybrids, both new and old, and are now convinced that many of them deserve more attention. As natural wine producers, they want to be able to work as far as possible without spraying in the vineyard, something that these hybrids make possible.
Their plan is now to promote the advantages of hybrids and to remove the preconceived notions that exist, both among producers and consumers.
