	Bastardo, Bastardo Wine and Bastardo Grape Growing Regions - Appellation America

		The Bastardo grape is generally not as highly regarded as other Port varieties, such as Touriga Nacional and Touriga Francesa.
		Bastardo's greatest virtue is the high natural sugar content of its grapes -- a desirable characteristic for fortified wine production.

		The sweetness of the wine (up to 3.5% residual sugar) is balanced by the tang of acidity; the texture, after suitable maturing, is silky and elegant; in a fine example, the finish is relatively dry and refreshing.
