Commonly used part of grape variety names and synonyms in Portugal. It is not a grape variety family, but there are genetic relationships or parent-offspring relationships for some varieties. Confusingly, some of the synonyms are used more than once; an extreme example is Boal Cachudo for five grape varieties. In addition, sources often specify only "Boal", making the distinction even more difficult.
As honorary chairman of the Domäne Wachau, it is the easiest and quickest way for me to access the wein.plus encyclopaedia when I have questions. The certainty of receiving well-founded and up-to-date information here makes it an indispensable guide.
