Discover the grape variety: Olivette noire
The exact origin of this variety is not known and it is not related to the white olivette. Today, it is very difficult to find the Olivette noire at wine nurseries because its multiplication is almost nil, registered however in the Official Catalogue of table grape varieties list A1. There is still the possibility of grafting it yourself, provided that you get grafts that are in a satisfactory state of health, which is not always the case.

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: Barrel
A wooden barrel made of oak that varies in size depending on the region and is used to age wines. Some white wines are vinified and aged in barrels.
