Ondenc is a white
ampelographer Paul Truel identified the vine while visiting Australia.[2] Today, the grape is nearly extinct in Australia except for a small amount of plantings in Victoria used in sparkling wine production.[3]
History
The grape is believed to have originated in southwestern France and at its peak production it was grown as far north as the
Montravel.[4]
Wine
The Ondenc grape can produce a highly perfumed, full-
bodied wine. It is also high in acidity which lends itself well to the production of sparkling wine.[4]
