The red grape variety originates from France. Synonyms are Caiño Redondo, Camaralet Noir, Camarau, Couxco, Espadeiro, Gros Noir, Multicoloured Camarau, Kamarau, Moustardet, Plant Sauvage, Sparse Menue and Torneiro. The variety was mentioned in 1909 by Victor Vermorel (1848-1927) and Pierre Viala (1859-1936) in the work "Ampélographie". The parentage is unknown. It should not be confused with the Portuguese variety Espadeiro, but is identical to the Spanish Caiño Redondo (Espadeiro). According to DNA analyses, it is closely related to Arrouya and Penouille, as well as being a parent of Castets. It is not a colour mutation of the white variety Camaraou Blanc.
