Viosinho Selections

	Viosinho [01]
Registration Status	Registered
Source	Portugal
Comments	This selection came to Foundation Plant Services in 2000 from Antonio Climaco, Bucal, Ordasequeira, Agro Ideia Nursery in Portugal. The original plant material underwent microshoot tip tissue culture therapy at FPS in 2000. After successful completion of testing for the California Grapevine Registration & Certification Program, Viosinho 01 was planted in the FPS Classic Foundation Vineyard in 2004. This selection successfully completed testing to qualify it for the Russell Ranch Foundation Vineyard, where it was planted in 2011 as Viosinho 01.1. This Viosinho selection is separate and unrelated to the former Viosinho FPS 01, which is now known as Viosinho PLANSEL® 289.

Comments	This selection came to Foundation Plant Services in 2005 from Jorge Böhm, Viveiros Plansel S.A., in Portugal. The material was JBP clone 289. The original material successfully completed testing and qualified for the California Grapevine Registration & Certification Program in 2007 and was planted in the Classic Foundation Vineyard as Viosinho 01. The name was changed to Viosinho 289 in 2008 to reflect the Plansel clone identification. After several years as a proprietary clone, Viosinho 289 was released to the FPS public grapevine collection in 2019.
