Currently, 45% of the grapevine cultivated area is covered with a group of varieties generically called "Criollas", a term given to American-born individuals descendant from European parents, although the possibility that some of these varieties arrived as seeds cannot be excluded.
All accessions were taken from the collection vineyard at the INTA Luján de Cuyo and the Agricultural College, Universidad Nacional de Cuyo, Mendoza, Argentina.
Fifty-three characters (Table 1), analyzed and described by Alcalde, 1989, using "Criollas" varieties, were numerically codified using a qualitative multi-status criterion (from 0 to 8, depending on the variables of each character) (Sneath and Sokal, 1973) and used to design a numbered-data matrix.

Argentina is one of the largest grape and wine producing countries in South America.
The finding that "Criollas" comprise a group more or less separate from the most other vinifera varieties tested, was somewhat surprising since grapevine culture in Argentina data since the colonial times and has not been enough time to allow a natural evolution.
Another type of molecular markers like microsatellite, which are highly-abundant in the grapevine genome and shows codominant nature, will certainly contribute to determine the relationships between "Criollas" and European varieties and within "Criollas" and could be used for parentage analysis in further investigation.
