The white grape variety (also Almaria) is a new variety, but the parents are unknown. It was crossed in France in 1860 by the breeder Jean-Pierre Vibert (see under Moreau-Robert). It must not be confused with the variety Ohanes (with synonym Almeria). The vine is used as a winepress and table grape as well as for sultanas. 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".
