Arrufiac

The white grape variety originates from France. Synonyms are Ambre, Arafiat, Arrefiac, Arrefiat, Arruffiac, Arruffiat, Arrufiat, Arufiat, Bouisselet, Raffiac, Raffiat, Refiat, Rouffiac Femelle, Ruffiac, Ruffiac Blanc, Ruffiac Male, Ruffiat, Rufiat and Zurizerratia. The variety was first mentioned in 1802 under the name Bouisselet in the Jurançon area (south-west France). Despite synonyms seemingly indicating this, it must not be confused with the varieties Bouchalès (synonym Bouissalet), Courbu Blanc or Raffiat de Moncade. According to DNA analyses carried out in 2007, it is related to the Petit Verdot variety. However, the parentage is unknown. The late-maturing vine is susceptible to downy mildew and black rot. It is grown in the Pacherenc du Vic-Bilh area. Nine hectares of vines were designated in 2016 (Kym Anderson).
