Origin & Breeding History: 'Pinot Prince' (experimental designation h16/10/13/4) was discovered as a single branch mutation in a tree of the variety 'Pinova' in an orchard in Kerk Avezaath, the Netherlands, in 2013. Virus-free graft wood was used to produce new trees in 2014, with 4 further generations subsequently propagated. 'Pinot Prince' was selected on the basis of its fruit colouring, which starts earlier than 'Pinova' and is more solid flushed and less striped.
Tests & Trials: The detailed description of 'Pinot Prince' is based on the UPOV report of Technical Examination, reference number APF 757, purchased from The Community Plant Variety Office (CPVO), Angers, France. The trial was conducted by the Bundessortenamt, at the Prüfstelle Wurzen Testing Station in Germany, from 2019 to 2020.
