OSIRIS: Vinifera variety developed at the Wurzburg Institute, Germany. Derived from a Riesling x Rieslaner cross. Fruit is seen as quite similar to the former parent, ripening before Müller Thurgau.
The people of ancient Egypt, in the time of the Pharaohs, worshiped the god Osiris, the son of Heaven and Earth, which means Lord of the vine in flower. They related his annual resurrection to the budding and blooming of grapevines every year.
