Bordô

The red grape variety originates from the USA. A synonym is Grana d'Oro, but this is not mentioned in the VIVC catalogue. According to DNA analyses carried out in 2009, there are close genetic relationships to the varieties Concord, Isabella and Niagara White; however, the origin is unknown (ex Wine Grapes). Bordo is also a synonym for the varieties Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenère and Chasselas (Bordo), as well as Ives and York-Madeira (Bordô). The high-yielding vine is exceptionally resistant to anthracnose. It produces dark-coloured red wines of simple quality and is also used for the production of grape juice. The variety is cultivated in Brazil in the Rio Grande do Sul region and occupied a total of 8,287 hectares of vineyards here in 2010. In 2016, however, no more stocks were reported (Kym Anderson).
