Teinturier

As a dyer grapes or Teinturier (French ) are a group of varieties (cover places ) from which wines are made predominantly deck for blending with pigment- poor, bright red varieties. The proportion of these varieties makes the wines which they are used, usually less than 5 percent. Varietal wines produced from these varieties only in a few cases, and they usually also evidenced by the fact only small vineyards.

The dyer grapes not only have a red skin, but also on red flesh, so that the juice a significant proportion of red color pigments is present, which makes the resulting wine vinified particularly strong color. The color pigments are present throughout the plant tissue. This also leaves to dye relatively early red. From dyer places, thus no light must be treader of grapes and thus do not present Weißherbst by immediate Abkeltern.

On the Loire the grape Teinturier du Cher was already used in the 17th century for dyeing pale red wines. Properly popular coloring but was only in the 19th century. Louis Bouschet succeeded in 1824 for the first time a cross between Aramon and Teinturier du Cher and thus abolished the varietal Petit Bouschet. His son Henry Bouschet developed from Petit Bouschet × Grenache Henri Bouschet Alicante the new breed. It developed into one of the world's most economically successful dyer grapes.

German new varieties under the dyer grapes are dark fields, Deckrot, Dakapo, Palas or Kolor. Rarely the deck of red wine varieties are processed as varietal red wine. Also the dornfelder was originally bred as color dispenser for bright reds, but was able to prevail as varietal wine quality in red wine boom of Germany from the late 1990s. However dornfelder has bright berry flesh is therefore no dyer places in the real sense. The grape skin but has incorporated many red and violet dyes, therefore, the red wines are particularly dark. The same applies to the grape variety Regent.

Widespread varieties of French wines deck are for example the Gamay Gamay de Bouze Teinturier varieties Gamay and Gamay de Chaudenay Fréaux and Cinsault. In Spain, Alicante Bouschet and Alicante Ganzin. The most famous Italian deck is the Tuscan Colorino next Ancellotta. In Austria frequently Blauburger for use. In Russia saperavi is widely used in California and Rubired plays a greater role.
