Editing Cabernet Sauvignon (section)

===Offspring and White Cabernet===
While not as prolific in [[mutation|mutating]] as [[Pinot noir]], nor as widely used in the production of offspring, Cabernet Sauvignon has been linked to other grape varieties. In 1961, a cross of Cabernet Sauvignon and [[Grenache]] produced the French wine grape [[Marselan]].<ref>{{cite news |first=L. |last=Alley |title=New French Wine Grape Arrives in US Market |work=The Wine Spectator |date=September 30, 2007 |page=17 }}</ref> [[Cygne blanc]] is a white-berried [[seedling]] of Cabernet Sauvignon that was discovered in 1989 growing in a garden in [[Swan Valley, Western Australia]]. [[Cabernet blanc]] is a crossing of Cabernet Sauvignon and an unknown hybrid grape variety that was discovered in [[Switzerland (wine)|Switzerland]] in the late 20th century.<ref>J. Robinson, J.

In 1977 a vine producing 'bronze' grapes was found in the vineyards of Cleggett Wines in Australia. They propagated this mutant, registered it under the name of Malian, and sold pale red wines under that name. In 1991 one of the Bronze Cabernet vines started producing white grapes. Cleggett registered this "White Cabernet" under the name of Shalistin.<ref>[http://www.cleggettwines.com.au/aboutus.php Cleggett wines:] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070829091440/http://cleggettwines.com.au/aboutus.php |date=2007-08-29 }} history and pictures of the gris and white mutants; [http://www.abc.net.au/tv/programs/landline/old-site/content/2006/s1933677.htm Transcript of ABC show about bronze and white mutants]</ref> Compared to its Cabernet parent, Malian appears to lack [[anthocyanin]]s in the subepidermal cells but retains them in the [[Epidermis (botany)|epidermis]], whereas Shalistin has no anthocyanins in either layer. The team that went on to discover the VvMYBA1 and VvMYBA2 genes that control grape colour have suggested that a gene involved in anthocyanin production has been deleted in the subepidermis of Malian, and then subepidermal cells invaded the epidermis to produce Shalistin.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Walker |first1=A.

During a series of trials between 1924 and 1930, the pollen of Cabernet Sauvignon was used to fertilize [[Glera (grape)|Glera]] vines (the white wine grape used to make the [[sparkling wine]] [[Prosecco]]) to create the red Italian wine grape [[Incrocio Manzoni 2.15]].<ref>J.

In 1972, the Australian agency [[CSIRO]] crossed Cabernet Sauvignon grapes with the Spanish [[Sumoll]] variety to create three new varieties: [[Cienna]], [[Tyrian (grape variety)|Tyrian]] and [[Rubienne]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.csiro.au/files/files/p7ri.pdf|title=Cienna Factsheet|website=CSIRO|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070927201352/http://www.csiro.au/files/files/p7ri.pdf|archive-date=27 September 2007|url-status=dead|access-date=22 July 2019}}</ref>

In 1983,  Cabernet Sauvignon was crossed with the white [[German wine]] grape [[Bronner (grape)|Bronner]] to create the white wine grape [[Souvignier gris]].<ref>[[Vitis International Variety Catalogue]] (VIVC) ''[http://www.vivc.de/datasheet/dataResult.php?data=22629 Souvignier gris] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140203014622/http://www.vivc.de/datasheet/dataResult.php?data=22629 |date=2014-02-03 }}'' Accessed: January 20th, 2014</ref>
