“B” grape entries

Bastardo

One of the many grapes grown in the Duoro valley of northern Portugal. Used in the production of port wine, but not as much as it used to be. There is anecdotal eveidence both for and against the Bastardo's relation to the Cabernet Gros in Australia and the Trousseau from France, although it is widely accepted to be one of the many varieties grown in California known collectively as Petite Sirah. More important in the production of port wine and California jug wine than any respected still wine.
