Timeline

1909

Harold Olmo (July 31, 1909 – June 30, 2006) was an American viticulturist and professor at the University of California, Davis where he created many new grape varieties known today as Olmo grapes.

1931

His work with grapes started in 1931, during the Prohibition.

1938

He became an assistant professor of viticulture at UC Davis in 1938.

1939

In 1939, he set up a research plot in the Larkmead Vineyards.

1948

In 1948, he traveled a total of 12,000 miles in Iran, Iraq, Turkmenistan, Afghanistan and Pakistan to collect seeds and cuttings from the region.

He brought it back to the USA, a collection that eventually became UC Davis' collection of genetically-diverse grapes.

1950

In the 1950s, he helped to establish California's first quarantine facility on the UC Davis campus to permit California growers to import foreign vines.

This led to an expansion of California's wine industry as more Vitis vinifera was introduced to the area.

Harold Olmo studied horticulture at the University of California, Berkeley, where he earned his doctorate in plant genetics.

1955

In 1955, Olmo was in Western Australia studying climatic limitations of viticulture in the Swan Valley.

Olmo spent eight months in Western Australia at the invitation of the Western Australian Vine Fruits Research Trust.

1956

When he published his report in 1956, one of the recommendations put forward was that Mount Barker and the Frankland of the Great Southern area of Western Australia showed great promise for making table wines in the light traditional European style.

Olmo also developed more than 30 new grape varieties, including Ruby Cabernet, Carnelian, Rubired and Royalty.

1977

He retired from UC Davis in 1977.

He was also a consultant for the United Nations, a Fulbright scholar and a Guggenheim Fellow.

2006

He died in 2006, and had patented his last grape a few months before his death.

2011

He also imported cuttings of the Greek varieties assyrtiko and moschofilero in the USA, which were stored at UC Davies until the Abbey of New Clairvaux started cultivating it in 2011.

2013

Since 2013, Larkmead Vineyards has been releasing the 'Larkmead Dr. Olmo', a 100% Cabernet Sauvignon cru born out of Harold Olmo's 1939 test crops planted on the Vineyards' property.

2020

The sum of his work and research is stored at UC Davis, under the file collection number D280, and was digitized for global access in 2020.
