Tempranillo takes on the flavor of the barrel. Varietal examples of Tempranillo usually exhibit flavors of plum and strawberries. Tempranillo is an early ripening variety that tends to thrive in chalky vineyard soils such as those of the Ribera del Duero region of Spain. In Portugal, where the grape is known as Tinto Roriz and Aragonez, it is blended with others to produce Port wine. For some time, Tempranillo was thought to be related to the Pinot noir grape. According to legend, Cistercian monks left Pinot noir cuttings at monasteries along their pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela. However, ampelographic studies have
Petite mutation petite negative mutants. Potentially, these yeasts have a different inheritance system in place for their mitchondrial genome than "S. cerevisiae" does. The frequency at which "S. castellii" spontaneously produces petites is similar to that of "S. cerevisiae", with the mitochondrial DNA of those petites being highly altered via deletion and rearrangement. Suppressive petites of "S. cerevisiae" are the most commonly observed spontaneously created mutants, whereas in "S. castellii," the most commonly observed spontaneous mutant is the neutral petite, further leading to speculation that the transference of this mutation differs between species. Petite mutation petite (ρ–) is a mutant first discovered
