Fer Servadou, often shortened to "Fer," is a red grape from Southwest France best known in the Marcillac appellation, where it produces rustic, peppery reds. California's CDFA crush data for it run only from 2009 through 2014, confined to a single crush district, with volumes always minimal, never exceeding about 5.5 tons crushed in a year. No bearing acreage was ever separately reported, and the variety disappears from state reports after 2014. Its brief, narrow California footprint suggests a small experimental or hobbyist planting rather than any commercial program.

What is published
Counts describe what this atlas holds for Fer Servadou, not what California grows. A zero is a published answer: it means the source names the grape and reports nothing under it, or does not name it at all.
