Gouveio(Godello)

Gouveio is a white wine grape found in various parts of Portugal, most saliently in the Douro Valley and more recently in Alentejo. It is used to make both dry wines (most often in blends) and as an ingredient in White Port. Although long mistaken for just another Portuguese grape variety synonym (in this case for Verdelho), Gouveio has proven to be a variety in its own right.

Gouveio grapes produce fresh, lively wines with good acidity and plenty of body.
