Trousseau Noir / Bastardo grape variety

Trousseau Noir is a red grape variety originating from the French Jura. While it only covers small areas there today, it now plays a much more relevant role on the Iberian Peninsula - under its synonym Bastardo. Especially in Portugal, where it is cultivated on over a thousand hectares and can be found in port wine and Madeira cuvees as well as in the famous Marche rosé Mateus.
