![Helios variety](/images/art_images/0108_0109.jpg)
Helios variety
Helios, the name of the sun god in ancient Greece. The grape variety that bears this divine name has nothing to do with Greece, nothing to do with gods apart from the name, at most something to do with the sun. It is a new development from Germany.

![No mystery: The Cuvée.](/images/art_images/0100_0101.jpg)
What is actually a Cuvée?
The term cuvée is used very differently internationally in different regions, which can lead to some confusion. The word cuvée is derived from the French cuve and means vat, fermenter or tank.

The Souvignier gris grape variety (pronunciation: Suvinje grie) was bred in 1983 by Norbert Becker (1937 - 2012) at the State Viticultural Institute in Freiburg i. Br. Please do not confuse it with Sauvignon, even if an English tongue can get confused when pronouncing it.

![Traminer](/images/art_images/0078_0079.jpg)
Gewürztraminer
Gewürztraminer is the best-known variant of the Traminer grape variety. The name Gewürztraminer is derived from the word "spiced" (in German Language "gewürzt"). This refers to the flavour of the wines. On the other hand, it is derived from the place name Tramin in South Tyrol. Although Gewürztraminer enjoys great popularity there, it has since been disproved that it originated there. The exact origin is still uncertain. However, the winegrowers in and around Tramin see it quite differently. Who can blame them?

... petit village tranquille qui s'appelle Chardonnay
"Dans le Haut-Mâconnais, la grande région située entre le Chalonnais et le Beaujolais, se trouve un vieux petit village tranquille qui s'appelle Chardonnay."
That's how the locals put it. In proper English Language: In the High-Mâconnais, the large region between Chalonnais and Beaujolais, lies a tranquil, old village called Chardonnay.
