Comments	This selection came to Foundation Plant Services in 2000 from Quinta da Cortezia ('vine 2'), Aldeia Gavinha, Agro Ideia Nursery, Portugal. It was initially given the name Trincadeira Preta FPS 01 (group 6817). Trincadeira Preta ('black Trincadeira') is a historical synonym name for this variety in Portugal. Trincadeira is the official Portuguese name, while the official Portuguese synonym name is Tinta Amarella. The original material successfully completed testing for the California Grapevine Registration & Certification Program and was planted in the FPS Classic Foundation Vineyard as Trincadeira Preta FPS 01. The name of the selection was changed in 2010 to Trincadeira 02 to correspond with the preferred name of the variety in Portugal. FPS created a backup vine for this selection using microshoot tip tissue culture therapy in 2001. That backup vine was planted in the Classic Vineyard without assignment of a formal selection number. The backup vine successfully completed testing to qualify for the Russell Ranch Foundation Vineyard, where it will be planted in 2013 as Trincadeira 02.1.
