Len de l’El

This white grape variety originates from France. Its synonyms include Cavaillè, Cavaillès, Cavalie, Cavalier, Endelel, Kavale, Kaveler, L’Endelel, Len-de-Lel, Len-del-El, Len de l’Elh, Len-del-Lel, Lenc dé l’El, Lendellet and Loin de l’Oeil. The name, which derives from the Occitan language, roughly translates as ‘far from the eyes’. This is because the grape stalks are very long, meaning that the grapes are situated ‘very far from the eyes (buds)’.

Len de l’El - Traube, Trieb und Blatt

Origin

Its parentage is unknown; one hypothesis suggests it was bred directly from wild vines.

Characteristics

This early- to mid-ripening, vigorous and high-yielding vine is susceptible to mites and botrytis (grey mould). It produces full-bodied, high-alcohol white wines that are not particularly high in acidity, with citrus and floral aromas; these are often blended with the varieties Mauzac Blanc, Muscadelle and Sauvignon Blanc.
