Tarrango Australian hybrid red grape (a cross of Touriga Nacional and the white Sultana), which was designed to offer a fruit style that gave lightness and freshness even in the sometimes searing heat of Australia.
Tarrango
Not a dance, but an obscure cross between a Portuguese grape variety with the Sultana grape, that is sometimes used in Australia to make simple, fruity red wines with piercing acidity.
TARRANGO: Hot region red-wine grape variety cross quite popular in, and confined to, Australia. Reportedly derived from Touriga and Sultanina grapes and possessed of low tannins and some acidity.
CIENNA: Variety recently released by Australia's CSIRO winegrape development program as a recommended red-wine producer grapevine. Reported to be similar to the Tarrango cultivar. No other details as yet.
