Bastardo grape
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bastardo is a type of red grape used in Portuguese port wine. It is generally considered an inferior port wine grape, especially when compared to such varieties as Touriga Nacional.
In Australia, it is called Cabernet Gros. In France it is called Trousseau or Tressot and is grown in the Chablis (Burgundy) region and in Jura. It is sparsely known in the southern regions of France.
It is occasionally found in California vineyards, sometimes misidentified as petit sirah.. It is generally used in fortified wines.
Trousseau Gris is a white mutation, occasionally found in Jura but common in California.
