Regent is an
interspecific hybrid bred in 1967 by crossing Diana (Silvaner x Muller-Thurgau)
with the interspecific hybrid Chambourcin. It was only released for planting as
late as 1996. An important new fungal resistant variety, Regent gives deeply
coloured wines with moderate acidity and a tendency to high tannins and must
weights. They can aromas of cherry and blackcurrants and it can also take to
some degree of barrique aging. This was an extra wine in a German wine tasting
at the fringes of the recent Vinexpo. Purple ruby with a sweet jammy berry
nose, the sweet berry fruit (with hint of jam) carried through to the palate
accompanied by acid right through to the finish. No much evidence of tannins in
this example!
