About Tauberschwarz
Tauberschwarz owes its name to Taubertal in Baden-Württemberg, where it has been cultivated since the 16th century.
In 1950 it was considered to be extinct, but the Weinberg Institute made it possible to revive it from 400 old vines found.
The grape was officially recognized in 1996 and grows mainly in Württemberg.
