Vaftra

The red grape variety originates from Greece. Synonyms are Vafissa, Vaphtra, Vapsa, Vautra and Vavtra. The parentage is unknown. Nothing is known about possible genetic relations to the two varieties Mandilaria (with synonym Vaftra) or Vaftra Aspri (possibly a mutation or vice versa). The variety yields dark-coloured red wines and is mainly used as a teinturier (colouring grape). The variety is cultivated on Antiparos, a subsidiary island of Paros. However, no stocks were reported in 2016 (Kym Anderson statistics).

The glossary is a monumental achievement and one of the most important contributions to wine knowledge. Of all the encyclopaedias I use on the subject of wine, it is by far the most important. That was the case ten years ago and it hasn't changed since.
