RARE GRAPE VARIETAL RESOURCE

"This primal variety can easily be up to 8,000 years old! Probably the oldest red wine variety in Germany is almost a genetic twin of the sweet black. It has existed on the southwestern shore of the Caspian Sea since the Bronze Age . Its name describes the robustness of the plant and the acid, tannin and tannin content of the wine. In earlier red wine cuvées and in a historically mixed sentence, the hard blue gave the wines a better storage life and shelf life. The hard blue was considered non-existent until 2007!"
