Discover the grape variety: Oberlin noir

Interspecific crossing between riparia Millardet and gamay obtained by Philip Christian Oberlin (1831-1915) who also created in 1897 the Oberlin Viticultural Institute in Colmar (Haut Rhin). This direct-producing hybrid was widely multiplied in the northeast region of France, from Alsace to Burgundy, also in the Loire Valley and in the Centre where our photographs were taken. Today, Oberlin noir is practically no longer cultivated, but a few vines exist here and there, producing very pleasant, albeit atypical, wines. It is nevertheless registered in the Official Catalogue of Vine Varieties, list A1. - Synonymy: 595 Oberlin (for all the synonyms of the grape varieties, click here!).
