Comments This selection came to Foundation Plant Services in 1982 from Negueroles, Spain. It was originally misidentified as AlbariƱo. DNA analysis at FPS in 2009 revealed that the true identity of this selection is a Spanish grape variety named Cherta. The original plant material is currently undergoing testing at FPS and could be available in 2012 if all test results are negative.
