Zalema Selections

Comments	This selection was donated to the public grapevine collection at Foundation Plant Services in 2005. The material originated in an anonymous nursery in Spain. The original material successfully qualified for the California Grapevine Registration & Certification Program in 2009. The original material underwent microshoot tip tissue culture therapy at FPS in 2009 and completed testing in 2013. The selection was planted in the Classic Foundation at that time as a backup to Zalema 01.
