The white grape variety originates from Lebanon. Synonyms are Obaideh, Obedi and Oubeïdi. The parentage (parentage) is unknown. There is a suggestion that it is a local clone of the Chardonnay variety. The variety is used for the production of table grapes, arrack and white wine. However, no stocks were reported in 2016 (Kym Anderson statistics).
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".
