Discover the grape variety: Lakemont
Interspecific cross between ontario (winchell x diamond) and sultana made in 1972 by John Einset (1915/1981) at the New York State Agricultural Experimental Station (United States). It is certainly known in the United States but also in Canada, in many European wine-producing countries including Germany and England where it is cultivated under greenhouses and tunnels, most often cold, ... little multiplied and therefore little known in France except by amateur gardeners. The interlaken which looks a little like the himrod, the himrod and the romulus have the same parents.

The wine region of Franken
Franken, or Franconia in English, is a wine-growing region in the northwest of Germany's historic state of Bavaria. Though Bavaria may be more famous for its beer, Franken boasts a proud viticultural tradition and is one of the most unique regions in the country. There are just over 6,100 hectares (15,073 ac) of vines Planted in Franken and around 80 percent of these are white Grape varieties. Here, Riesling plays second fiddle to the often overlooked Silvaner and Müller-Thurgau.
The word of the wine: Performance
Quantity of grapes harvested per hectare. In AOC, the average yield is limited on the proposal of the appellation syndicate, validated by the Inao. The use of high-performance plant material (especially clones) and better control of vine diseases have increased yields. This is not without consequences on the quality of the wines (dilution) and on the state of the market (too much wine). We must not over-simplify: low yields are not synonymous with quality, and it is often in years with generous harvests that we find the greatest vintages (1982 and 1986 in Bordeaux, 1996 in Champagne, 1990 and 2005 in Burgundy...).
