The white grape variety (also Praca Dura) originates from Portugal. According to DNA analyses carried out in 2020, it comes from a presumably natural cross between Rabigato x Castellana Blanca. It is cultivated in the Norte region of Portugal. In 2016, 169 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.
