En Profundidad
Crossing differs from hybridization — both parents are vinifera. Famous crosses include Müller-Thurgau (Riesling × Madeleine Royale), Pinotage (Pinot Noir × Cinsault), and Scheurebe (Riesling × unknown). Crossing aims to combine desirable traits: disease resistance, early ripening, or aromatic complexity. Results are unpredictable.
