Garrido Fino

Garrido Fino is indigenous white grape variety of Spain. It is cultivated in small quantities in the wine region of Condado de Huelva in Andalusia. In the 1990s, an area under vines of 404 acres was raised in Spain.

The late-ripening variety has long been known in Andalusia and is also often used as a table grape due to their rugged shell. In the province of Huelva there is also the unrelated variety Garrido macho.

Ampelographic varietal characteristics

In the ampelography the habit is described as follows:

• The shoot tip is open. She is hairy white wool. The young green leaves are slightly hairy and woolly bronze mottled ( Anthocyanflecken ).
• The medium-sized and relatively thick leaves are five-lobed and deeply sinuate medium ( see also the article sheet form). The petiole is lyres -shaped open. The leaf surface (also called leaf blade ) is vesicular coarse.
• The cone - shaped to cylindrical grape is GRSS (approx. 25 cm long), shouldered and moderately dichtbeerig. The rounded or slightly elliptical berries are large and amber yellow.

The grape ripens almost 30 - 35 days after Chasselas. It is thus considered late maturing. Garrido Fino is a variety of the noble vine (Vitis vinifera ). It has hermaphrodite flowers and is thus self- fruiting. When the wine-growing economic disadvantage is avoided, no return delivered to have male plants grow.
