The red grape variety (also Tinto Navalcarnero) originates from Spain. According to DNA analyses carried out in 2014, it is a presumably natural cross between Castellana Blanca x Tinto Fragoso. Nothing is known about a possible genetic relationship with the Garnacha Tinta variety (with synonym Tinto de Navalcarnero). No stocks were reported in 2016 (Kym Anderson statistics).
For my many years of work as an editor with a wine and culinary focus, I always like to inform myself about special questions at Wine lexicon. Spontaneous reading and following links often leads to exciting discoveries in the wide world of wine.
