Herbemont

Wine offers for "Herbemont" in find+buy

The red grape variety likely originates from the USA; according to the hypotheses listed below, it may also have originated in France. Synonyms include Black Herbemont, Bottsi, Brown French, Devereux, Dunn, Herbemont’s Madeira, Hunt, Kay’s Seedling, Madeira, McKnee, Neal Grape, Neil Grape, Thurmond, Warren, Warren Grape, and Warrenton. Due to the synonym Hunt, it should not be confused with the new variety Hunt.

Herbemont - Weintraube und Blatt

Origin

The origin of the hybrid is unclear; there are several hypotheses. According to the most common variant, the variety was discovered by the winemaker Nicholas Herbemont (1771-1839) in 1798 on a plantation in Columbia (South Carolina). He selected, propagated, and marketed the vine, which is why it was referred to as Herbemont’s Madeira or Herbemont. According to another hypothesis, it was brought to Georgia by Henry Hunt much earlier, before the American Revolution (1763 to 1783), and then spread in Warren County in the early 19th century.

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.
