Interspecific cross between the Clinton and the frankenthal or black-hamburg obtained in 1859 by Charles Arnold of Paris in Canada (Brant County in Ontario). In France, it is one of the six hybrids prohibited since 1935 (included in the European regulations): the Clinton, the Herbemont, the Isabelle, the Jacquez, the Noah and the Othello. It has been used as a sire in several crosses, notably by Couderc and Seibel. Today, the Othello has practically disappeared.

The wine region of Valais

The Valais is the largest wine region and appellation in Switzerland, responsible for around one third of the country's total wine production. The main Vineyard area covers the southeast-facing slopes of the dramatic Rhône river valley as the glacial waters run southwest between Leuk (Loeche in French) and Fully. The river changes direction at Martigny and then runs northwest to exit the valley and empty into Lac Léman (Lake Geneva). Vineyard area here comes to around 4,800 hectares (11,800 acres) and is generally located on (often steep) slopes and terraces between the flat, fertile, Heavy soils at the bottom of the valley - often given over to fruit production, industry and urban development - and the bare rock of the mountainside that towers above.
