Gouveio |
| Type of grape variety |
White |
| Description |
The Gouveio grape variety is grown in the Douro region, where it is also known
as Verdelho, which is why is it often confused with the Verdelho grape variety
grown in the Azores and Madeira.
It has good ageing potential and good production. It has medium-sized and
compact bunches that produce small, yellowish-brown grapes.
The wines produced with Gouveio show an excellent balance of acidity and sugar,
being characterised by their high-grade, good structure and intense aromas.
Moreover, these wines have excellent conditions to be aged in bottle. |
