Discover the grape variety: Barras
It most certainly originates from the Tarn region, a variety that has completely disappeared from the vineyard and is therefore on the way out. It was very difficult to find documentation concerning it, especially since there is a slight confusion with malpé. D.N.A. analyses processed by a specific software (U.M.R.-A.G.A.P. Montpellier) indicate that malpé is the result of a cross between cahours and fer.

The wine region of Rheingau
Rheingau is one of the most important of Germany's 13 Anbaugebiete wine regions. However it is far from the biggest; with 3,076 hectares (7,600 acres) of Vineyard">Vineyards documented in 2012, its output is around one tenth of that from the Pfalz and Rheinhessen regions. Located on the Rhine a 20-minute drive west of Frankfurt, the -gau suffix denotes that it was once a county of the Frankish Empire. The classic Rheingau wine is a DryRiesling with pronounced Acidity and aromas of citrus fruits and smoke-tinged minerality – typically more "masculine" than its equivalent from the Mosel.
The word of the wine: Courgée
Name of the fruiting branch left after pruning and which is then arched along the trellis in the Jura (in the Mâconnais, it is called the tail).
