It most certainly originates from the Tarn region, a variety that has completely disappeared from the vineyard and is therefore on the way out. It was very difficult to find documentation concerning it, especially since there is a slight confusion with malpé. D.N.A. analyses processed by a specific software (U.M.R.-A.G.A.P. Montpellier) indicate that malpé is the result of a cross between cahours and fer.

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: Terroir

Strictly speaking, the notion of terroir corresponds to the geological characteristics of a vineyard. However, when we talk about terroir, we take into account the soil, the climate (even the microclimate), the flora, the fauna, and the human factor that characterizes the practices that make up the art of the craft.
