Discover the grape variety: Madeleine angevine O.
This variety was obtained in the 19th century by Christian Oberlin, by crossing the madeleine angevine with the bouquettraube, registered in the Official Catalogue of vine varieties list A1. It should not be confused with the said Madeleine Angevine because its resemblance is strong, at least in its bunches. Today, Madeleine angevine Oberlin is no longer cultivated, it is still only found in a few private homes, usually on trellises. - Synonymy: angevine oberlin, madeleine blonde oberlin (the synonymy of grape varieties, click here!)

The wine region of Kakheti
Kakheti is the most important wine region in Georgia in quantitative, qualitative and even historic terms. Almost three-quarters of the country's wine Grapes are grown here, on land that has been used for viticulture for thousands of years. Kakheti is home to some of the oldest human habitations in the entire Caucasus region, and archaeological findings have suggested that wine has been produced here for several thousand years. The region's strong relationship with wine and Vine was captured in Georgia's famous hymn 'Thou Art a Vineyard', written in the 12th Century by King Demetrius I.
The word of the wine: Silky
