Discover the grape variety: Mayorquin
Mayorquin is one of the many white grape varieties. According to the studies undertaken, it comes from Spanish vineyards and its original name is planta fina de Pedralba. In France, it may also be called Plant de Marseille, but it has other names such as Tizigzaouine, Damas Blanc or Alicante, depending on the regions and areas where it is grown. Nowadays, this variety is grown on an area of almost 2 ha, regardless of its names. Mayorquin is considered a rare variety. It is in the process of disappearing and requires some multiplication and cultivation to continue to exist. In France, it is only found in Belley and is mainly used as a table grape, especially for desserts. However, it can also be vinified, although the result is not as appreciated as those of other grape varieties. Instead, people tend to use Mayorquin as a secondary grape variety to produce other more popular wines.
