Cascal

The white grape variety comes from Portugal. Synonyms are Morrao, Murrao, Pe de Perdrix, Pied de Perdrix, Terrantes and Terrantez. The parentage (parenthood) is unknown. It must not be confused with other varieties of the name group Terrantez. The low yielding vine is susceptible to fungal diseases such as powdery and downy mildew. It produces tender, fruity white wines, which are mostly used as blends. The variety is cultivated in the Portuguese Vinho Verde area. However, no stocks were reported in 2016 (statistics Kym Anderson).

Serious sources on the internet are rare - and Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one such source. When researching for my articles, I regularly consult the wein.plus encyclopaedia. There I get reliable and detailed information.
