The red grape variety originates from Portugal. Synonyms are Tinta Miúda de Fontes and Tinta Miúda Fontes. According to DNA analyses carried out in 2020, it comes from a presumably natural cross between Arinto x Trousseau Noir. Nothing is known about a possible genetic relationship with the Graciano variety (with the synonym Tinta Fontes). No stocks were reported in 2016 (Kym Anderson statistics).
As honorary chairman of the Domäne Wachau, it is the easiest and quickest way for me to access the wein.plus encyclopaedia when I have questions. The certainty of receiving well-founded and up-to-date information here makes it an indispensable guide.
