Descriptive elements

<p>Only the principal ampelographic elements enabling the varieties to be characterised and identified are provided. They are presented according to the descriptor code recognised by the International Organisation of Vine and Wine (OIV), the International Union for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants (UPOV), the Community Plant Variety Office (OCVV) and Bioversity International (for more information, see the <a href="/en/vocabulaire">"Ampelographic glossary"</a> menu).<br>
The photographs of leaves and grapes were taken in natural conditions, on the vine, in very similar situations in terms of growing conditions (sandy soil, Mediterranean coast):</p>
<ul>
<li>Domaine de l'Espiguette (IFV), Le Grau du Roi (Gard),</li>
<li>Domaine de Vassal (INRAE), Marseillan (Hérault),</li>
<li>La Gaillarde Campus (Institut Agro | Montpellier SupAgro), Montpellier (Hérault).</li>
</ul>
<p>Only a few photographs, including the tips of bunches, were taken in other conditions.</p>

The identification is based on:
- the tip of the young shoot with a medium to high density of prostrate hairs,
- the young leaves that are yellow with bronze spots or copper, with a low to medium density of prostrate hairs,
- the shoots with green or slightly red-striped internodes,
- the circulo-kidney-shaped adult leaves, entire or with three lobes, an open V-shaped petiole sinus, long teeth compared to their width at the base with straight sides, no anthocyanin coloration of veins, a thin, twisted, blistered leaf blade, and on the lower side of the leaves, a low density of erect and prostrate hairs,
- the slightly ellipsoid berries.

Phenology

<p>The growth stages indicated are the result of obsrvations made at the Domaine de Vassal Estate where the set of these varieties form a collection. The results are indicated compared to the Chasselas vine variety as a reference in order to make comparisons between years and different sites. As such, for information purposes, the dates for the Chasselas B growth stage at Domaine de Vassal are as follows:</p>
<ul>
<li>Bud burst, 21 March (average over 50 years)</li>
<li>Grape maturity, 14 August (average over 50 years)</li>
</ul>

Bud burst: same as Chasselas.
Grape maturity: early-season, 1 week and a half to 2 weeks after Chasselas.

Suitability for cultivation and agronomic production The data on suitability are the result of field observations or, if none are available, of bibliography mining and the study of bibliographic references.

Tinta Barroca is vigorous and has a semi-erect bearing. It is best to trellish this variety and to prune it long as it is not very fertile if prune short. Tinta Barroca is not very adapted to drought and it is sensitive to burns. This variety should preferably be planted in deep enough soils, to provide a sufficient water supply.

Susceptibility to diseases and pests These remarks are also the result of field observations or, if none are available, of bibliography mining and study of bibliographic references.

Tinta Barroca is sensitive to downy mildew, powdery mildew and to vine leafhoppers. This variety is moderately susceptible to grey rot and phomopsis.

<p>Remarks concerning the characteristics of the wines are generally based on tastings organised by juries of professionals.</p>

Tinta Barroca’s bunches are medium to large and moderately compact. The berries are medium in size, simple-flavored, with a thin skin and a juicy pulp. The wines are intensely colored. On high-altitude soils, this variety produces wines with a light tannin structure and floral aromas. In case of over-ripeness, the wines concentrate and have a good ageing potential. They can however lack acidity.
