The red grape variety comes from Portugal. Synonyms are Donzelinho Rosa, Douradinha do Pico and Uva Petroleo. According to DNA analyses carried out in 2020, it comes from a presumably natural cross between Marufo x Gouveio (Godello). The latter is also a parent of Donzelinho Branco (white berries) and Donzelinho Tinto (blue berries). The vine is cultivated in tiny quantities in the Trás-os-Montes area. In 2016, 0.1 hectares of vine area was designated (Kym Anderson).
For me, Lexicon from wein.plus is the most comprehensive and best source of information about wine currently available.
