The red grape variety (also Marouxos) originates from Cyprus. The parentage (parenthood) is unknown. The endangered variety was rediscovered by the Cypriot oenologist Akis Zambartas in an old vineyard of the Marouchos winery in Panayia, from which the name is derived. In 2016, no stock was recorded (Kym Anderson).
In the past, you needed a wealth of encyclopaedias and specialist literature to keep up to date in your vinophile professional life. Today, Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one of my best helpers and can rightly be called the "bible of wine knowledge".
