Gamaret
Variety of grape
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gamaret is a variety of red wine grape.[1] It was created by André Jaquinet at Station Fédérale de Recherches en Production Végétale de Changins in 1970 by crossing Gamay and Reichensteiner. Gamaret was developed for cultivation in French Switzerland, and is a full sibling of Garanoir, which was intended for the German part of the country.[2]
