Prieto Picudo is a red grape from Leon in northwestern Spain, traditionally used for rose and light reds in that region. California's record for it is barely a record at all: three crush vintages, 2021 through 2024, spread across three districts, with no acreage figure logged. It is one of the newest and smallest entries in the state's crush data, the kind of variety a single grower brings in and CDFA has only just started to notice in its published reports.
