The vineyards of the small Hungarian wine district of Somló are located on and around the flanks of an extinct volcano. Since the Middle Ages, medicinal properties have been attributed to the wines of Somló. They were said to increase fertility. Habsburg princes drank wine made from the Juhfark grape from Somló on their wedding night. It was said to guarantee the birth of a son.
