1–10–1 Mother of Tempranillo. is one of my own crosses. The mother plant is Tempranillo. It has not yet been given a name, but 2.5 liters of red wine have been made from it and from 3-17-11. That will determine whether the varieties have any future. This variety is abundantly bearing, has clear juice, but somewhat little coloring matter.
