Foundling

Wild-growing and initially unknown grape varieties are referred to as "Findlinge," whose origin is unclear – they are open flowering. The name is also used to denote three different white grape varieties:

Findling = Bouvier

A commonly used term in Germany for the variety Bouvier. Under this name, a total of 23 hectares of vineyard area were recorded in 2019, mainly in the growing regions Baden (Germany) and Mosel.

Findling (Bouvier) - Grape and Leaf

Findling = Mutation Müller-Thurgau

This is a mutation of the Müller-Thurgau. The variety was discovered, selected, and propagated by Franz Kimmig in Oberkirch (Baden, Germany) in 1971. The differences include an earlier ripening time, lower yield, and higher must weight. It is cultivated in small quantities in the Swiss canton Geneva (personal information from Dr. José Vouillamoz José); whether there are also stocks in Germany is unknown.

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.
