Mondeuse Noire - Traube und Blatt

Origin

According to an unverifiable hypothesis, Mondeuse Noire is a descendant of the ancient Allobrogica variety described by Pliny the Elder (23-79). However, there is no historical or botanical evidence for this. The variety was first mentioned in 1731 under the name Maldoux.

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.
