Maticha

The white grape variety originates from Morocco. The name means "tomato grape" and refers to the shape of the berries. Synonyms are Bou Touggala, Bou Touqqala and Chetoui. The parentage (parentage) is unknown. The vine was first described by the ampelographer Joseph Vidal (1905-1985). The late-ripening vine has large, thick-skinned berries. It is used as a winepress and table grape. The variety is grown in Morocco, mainly around Meknès at the foot of the Middle Atlas. In 2016, a total of 275 hectares of vineyards were designated in Argentina (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.
