The red grape variety is a new cross between Touriga Nacional x Sultana. The cross was made in 1965 at the CSIRO Plant Industry Institute in Merbein, Australia, by grower A. J. Antcliff. Plant variety protection was granted in 1975. The late-ripening vine produces light, acid-accentuated red wines with a low tannin content. It is also used as table grape. The variety is cultivated in Australia in the Murray Darling region. In 2016, 16 hectares of vineyards were designated here with a strong downward trend (Kym Anderson statistics).

If I were to rate websites, you would deserve the highest rating. It is rare to come across websites that provide such a large amount of data and are still so intuitive to use. Respect for the lovingly researched and informatively prepared encyclopedia. Keep it up!
