Notice

Colin Mills, compiler of the Hortus Camdenensis, died in late November 2012 after a short illness. As he always considered the Hortus his legacy, it is his family's intention to keep the site running in perpetuity. It will not, however, be updated in the near future.

Vitis vinifera ‘Klieb-roed’

I have been unable to identify this grape and have no description as yet. It may be a red grape as Asmanhausen is famous for a red wine of that name.

 

Horticultural & Botanical History

No data.

 

History at Camden Park

Listed only in the 1850 and 1857 catalogues [Vines for Wine only no.28/1850]. Spelled ‘Klieb-roed’ in the 1850 catalogue and this is probably the correct spelling.

In an advertisement in The Sydney Morning Herald of Saturday 21st of June, 1845, offering vine cuttings for sale at 5 shillings per 100, ‘Klieb-roed’ was described as ‘from Asmanhausen’. This German grape was probably brought in with the German vine dressers in 1838.
