Swenson White

 

Lon Rombough (célèbre viticulteur Américain,  auteur du livre “The Grape Grower”) déclare qu’il a envoyé des boutures d’une sélection de plants de raisin à l’un de ses ami dans le Colorado pour les tester.

 

The latter having accepted a job in a nursery at Boulder planted some of these cuttings.

 

One day, a journalist specialized in horticulture visiting the nursery, tasted one of the grapes from one of these vines, and fell in love with it.

 

Seeing on the label attached to the plant, the name ‘Swenson White’ she named the variety this way in her article published in the magazine “Horticulture”.

 

N’ayant pas la moindre idée qu’en fait, l’étiquette était un raccourci pour “Un cépage blanc d’Elmer Swenson” (“Swenson/White”).

 

C’est ainsi, qu’une fois imprimé dans un magazine National, il devint le “nom officiel” du nouveau cépage.
