Information about: Clonal Families, Selection Numbers and Registration Status

	Tinta Caiada [707]
Registration Status	Registered
Source	Jorge Böhm, Viveiros Plansel S.A., Portugal
Comments	This selection came to Foundation Plant Services in 2007 from Jorge Böhm, Viveiros Plansel S.A., Portugal. The material is Plansel clone JPB 707 from the Alentejo. After successful completion of testing, Tinta Caiada PLANSEL 707 (the original untreated material) qualified for the California Grapevine Registration & Certification Program and was planted in the Classic Foundation Vineyard in 2009. The selection also underwent microshoot tip tissue culture therapy at FPS in 2008 and the resulting vines were planted in the Classic Foundation Vineyard as unnumbered backup selections to Tinta Caiada 707. After several years as a proprietary selection, this selection was released to the FPS public grapevine collection in 2019.
