The red grape variety is a new cross between Alicante Henri Bouschet x Montúa (Diagalves). The correct parentage was only discovered during DNA analyses carried out in 2020, because the breeding list incorrectly indicated Diagalves x Sultanina (Sultana). The cross was made by the breeder José Leão Ferreira de Almeida at the national research centre near Lisbon. It is grown in tiny quantities in the Centro region and Madeira. In 2016, 0.1 hectares of vines were reported (Kym Anderson statistics).
There is a vast number of sources on the web where one can acquire knowledge about wine. But none has the scope, timeliness and accuracy of the information in the encyclopaedia at wein.plus. I use it regularly and rely on it.
