The red grape variety (also Plant de Verre) is a new variety between Petit Bouschet x Morrastel(Graciano). It was crossed in France in the middle of the 19th century by Henri Bouschet (1815-1881). It produces deep dark red wines, which are used as Teinturier (dyer's grape). The variety is grown in the Département Herault(Languedoc). In 2016, 1.5 hectares of vineyards were designated (statistics Kym Anderson).
There is a vast number of sources on the web where one can acquire knowledge about wine. But none has the scope, timeliness and accuracy of the information in the encyclopaedia at wein.plus. I use it regularly and rely on it.
