The white grape variety (also Valveirinho) is a new cross between Vital x Alvarinho. The cross was made in Portugal by the breeder José João Ferreira de Almeida. The variety is grown in tiny quantities in the Norte region and on the island of Madeira. In 2016, 0.3 hectares of vineyards were designated (Kym Anderson statistics).

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.
