Grape characteristics |
| Name |
Cascal |
| Type of grape variety |
White |
| Description |
Medium quality white grape variety, authorised in the Penafiel sub-region, in the areas around Porto and in the most southern counties (3). Little productive and irregular due to its susceptibility to cryptogamic diseases, this grape variety produces wines with a fragile fruity aroma, but without quality.
Synonymy: known as «Morrão» in Lousada, as «Terrantez» in Castelo de Paiva and as «Pé de Perdiz» in Celorico de Basto.
