Tarrango

Tarrango is a red grape variety. The new variety was introduced by the Horticultural Research Station of CSRI in Merbein in Victoria, Australia in 1965. It is a cross of varieties Touriga Nacional and Sultana. The breeder of the variety was Alan J. Antcliff. In 2005 201 hectares of vineyards were planted with this variety in Australia.

The Tarrango matures very late and thus rarely comes to full maturity. It is therefore only suitable for very warm climates, as they are common in Victoria, Australia. There are of their Beaujolais - like red wines that you should drink young produced. It is a variety of the noble vine (Vitis vinifera ).
