An artificial Gamay × Reichensteiner cross, Mara was obtained in 1970 at the Agroscope research center in Pully (Switzerland) with the aim of creating a grape similar to Gamay, but more resistant and rich in color. Officially marketed in 2009, it is a brother of Gamaret and Garanoir. Baptized with a fancy name, Mara is precocious and offers great resistance to gray rot. Grown exclusively in Switzerland, its wines are colorful, fruity, spicy, and are often used in blending.
Aroma Potential
Gives a quality wine, ample, original and distinctive, with a high polyphenolic potential, with tender, supple and coated tannins - if one does not lead the grapes towards over-ripening -, full-bodied, suitable for aging. In Switzerland, Mara is generally associated with other grape varieties. Aromas of spices, red fruits.
