In 1802, the botanist Andr\u00e9 Michaux cultivated vines of the sort \u201cIsabelle\u201d (<em>Vitis labrusca<\/em>) in the area around Ivondro for the first time \u2013 rather more due to curiosity than because of economical reasons. In 1845, the French man <a href=\"https:\/\/www.madamagazine.com\/en\/die-schreckensherrschaft-ranavalonas-i\/\">Jean Laborde<\/a> produced wine under the critical eyes of queen <a href=\"https:\/\/www.madamagazine.com\/en\/die-schreckensherrschaft-ranavalonas-i\/\">Ranavalona I.<\/a> in Mantasoa, a city north of Antananarivo. In 1886, some Americans tried to grow wine in the southern highlands around <a href=\"https:\/\/www.madamagazine.com\/en\/die-stadt-der-holzschnitzer\/\">Ambositra<\/a>, and some more trials in many parts of the country followed. Deliverances from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.madamagazine.com\/volksgruppen-madagaskars\/\">Merina<\/a> people bear witness to almost 0,37 km\u00b2 vineyards in the Malagasy highlands in 1905.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2770\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2770\" style=\"width: 199px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.madamagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Wein-4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2770 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.madamagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Wein-4-199x300.jpg\" alt=\"Corking the bottles\" width=\"199\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.madamagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Wein-4-199x300.jpg 199w, https:\/\/www.madamagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Wein-4.jpg 665w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 199px) 100vw, 199px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2770\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Corking the bottles<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But it was not before the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.madamagazine.com\/volksgruppen-madagaskars\/\">colonial time<\/a> under the French, more exact during the 1920ies when the viticulture in Madagascar reached amounts worth mentioning. In 1958, a French Cistercian abbot founded the monastery of Maromby, few kilometers north of Fianarantsoa. Today they still produce wine over there, and mostly Malagasy monks live and work in the monastery. In 1971, the confraternity \u201cLazan\u2019i Betsileo\u201d (pride of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.madamagazine.com\/volksgruppen-madagaskars\/\">Betsileo<\/a>) was founded near Fianarantsoa. It derives from a project of Swiss development aid and the Malagasy state and owns seven wine-growing districts and thereby almost half of the total volume of vines in Madagascar. With the termination of the Swiss development aid, the corporation however was plunged into a deep crisis and, from which it recovers only draggingly. Temporarily, the confraternity was completely incapable of acting. Under the supervision of Lazan\u2019i Betsileo, there\u2019s another kind of confraternity of Malagasy vintners, Fiombonan\u2019ny Mpamboly Voaloboka (FMV).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Between 1960 and 2000, Madagascar\u2019s viticulture grew from less than one to an area of 5,5 km\u00b2. Today, some travel guides speak of 27 km\u00b2 vineyard acreage \u2013 but where they got this number from, stays unexplained. Some wine experts evaluate the complete vineyard acreage of Madagascar up to date at about 30 to 40 km\u00b2, but some also estimate the vineyards all together being only 6 km\u00b2. Unfortunately, there\u2019s no exact faithful statement or even measurements.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2781\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2781\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.madamagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Wein-16.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2781 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.madamagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Wein-16-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Weinanbau im s\u00fcdlichen Hochland\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.madamagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Wein-16-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.madamagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Wein-16.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2781\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Vineyards in the southern highlands<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The only region, where vines can grow in Madagascar, in the southern highland between <a href=\"https:\/\/www.madamagazine.com\/en\/antsirabe\/\">Antsirabe<\/a> and Fianarantsoa. Both cities are connected via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.madamagazine.com\/en\/strassen-und-bruecken\/\">RN7<\/a> and well to reach from the capital Antananarivo in some days by car. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.madamagazine.com\/en\/klima-auf-madagaskar\/\">climate<\/a> here is moderately warm with not too heavily developed dry and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.madamagazine.com\/en\/klima-auf-madagaskar\/\">rainy seasons<\/a>. Accordingly, this is a place to grow the vine, while southern and western Madagascar would be too dry and hot, and the eastern part of the country would be far too wet.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Nowadays, a handful of vintners cares for the exploitation of the acreage and organizes a manageable vine market within the Malagasy borders. It\u2019s mainly French men and the Malagasy descendants of Chinese who came into the country at the beginning of the 20<sup>th<\/sup> century, who took over control in Malagasy viticulture. Completely native vintners, mainly from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.madamagazine.com\/volksgruppen-madagaskars\/\">Betsileo<\/a> people, administer only 40 % of the vineyards. The third group of vintners is the posterity of missionaries, who produce vine in monasteries like Monast\u00e8re.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2783\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2783\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.madamagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Wein-18.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2783 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.madamagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Wein-18-300x258.jpg\" alt=\"Das bekannteste Reptil Madagaskars auf Weinflaschen verewigt\" width=\"300\" height=\"258\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.madamagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Wein-18-300x258.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.madamagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Wein-18-1024x882.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2783\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Madagascar&#8217;s most known <a href=\"https:\/\/www.madamagazine.com\/pantherchamaeleons\/\">reptile<\/a> on the bottles of Soavita wine<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In Madagascar, vines are mostly planted in lines along wooden espaliers. Some yards are still cultivated with single wooden growth supports, the vines distributed irregularly on a large field. Similar to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.madamagazine.com\/en\/das-korn-des-lebens-reisanbau-auf-madagaskar\/\">rice<\/a>, vineyards are often planted in terraces. The biggest enemies of a vitner in Madagascar are the insidious tropical climate and vermins, e.g. termites, grapevine louse, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.madamagazine.com\/vogel\/\">birds<\/a>. Complying to the aggravated conditions, first of all, hybrid vines thrive well in Madagascar, among them Couderc Blanc, Syval Blanc, and Villard Blanc for white wine and Villard Noir, Chambourcin, Varousset as well as Petit Bouchet (Cabernet Sauvignon) for red wine. All these sorts are so-called French-American hybrids, created by crossings of different <em>Vitis<\/em> species in Europe in the 1860ies. They were thought to link the tough American vine sorts with the delicacy and elegance of the European wines. Since 2010, a French-Malagasy couple produces wine only from European vines (<em>Vitis vinifera<\/em>) under the name Clos Nomena. The biggest viticulture company of Madagascar, Soa Vita, brought help from France one year before to switch at least partially to European vines, too. At least a small part of European vines is also used by the other vintners.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2769\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2769\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.madamagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Wein-3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2769 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.madamagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Wein-3-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"Weinf\u00e4sser aus Beton\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.madamagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Wein-3-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.madamagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Wein-3-310x205.jpg 310w, https:\/\/www.madamagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Wein-3.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2769\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Concrete barrels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Grape harvest in Madagascar is done in February, which means at the end of the tropical rainy season. All work stages are pure handiwork, nothing is done by machines. The Malagasy don\u2019t know refractometer to measure the sugar content of the grapes. To find the perfect time to harvest, they just try the grapes themselves. The cider of the pressed out grapes ends up in big concrete, rarely steel barrels, where it ferments six months. Wooden barrels do not belong to the equipment of most wineries, and you will also look futilely for yeast additions. In contrast, the most kind of wines is made by adding a lot of cane sugar, sometimes up to 20 % (Chaptalisation).<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2767\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2767\" style=\"width: 224px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.madamagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Wein-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2767 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.madamagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Wein-1-224x300.jpg\" alt=\"Die Flaschen werden gewaschen\" width=\"224\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.madamagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Wein-1-224x300.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.madamagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Wein-1.jpg 749w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 224px) 100vw, 224px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2767\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The bottles are washed<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A big problem for Malagasy vintners is bottling and suberization of the wine. Until today, the whole island has no fabric producing glass, that\u2019s why glass bottles have to be expensively imported from other countries. As a consequence, most bottles are collected when empty and washed with a mixture of ash and water to recycle them. In some smaller villages, it can even happen that you get your wine served in a former rum bottle. Corking is done by hand with old table corking machines.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Besides red wine, white wine, and Ros\u00e9, you can also get some special kind of wine in Madagascar, Vin Gris. Additionally, the Malagasy make various aperitive wines with coconut, pineapple, or orange taste. Still today, the Malagasy wine is worldwide poorly known and is often dismissed as a wine of inferior quality. For sure, the quality is often not really laudable, and the viticulture is far from being as sophisticated as it is in Europe. But nevertheless, Malagasy wine has its right to exist, and many wines can go for good table wines.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><div class=\"box note  aligncenter\"><div class=\"box-inner-block\"><i class=\"fa tie-shortcode-boxicon\"><\/i>\n\t\t\t<strong>Vintner and cofraternities:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Domaine Lovasoa, Soaindrana<br \/>\nWines: Vin de Betsileo<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Domaine Mendrika, Soaindrana<br \/>\nWines: Domaine Mendrika<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Chan Fao Tong, Antsirabe<br \/>\nWines: Grand Cru d&#8217;Antsirabe<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Monast\u00e8re de Maromby, Fianarantsoa<br \/>\nWines: Clos de Maromby<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">S.A.
