Manteudo

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Manteudo is an autochthonous white wine variety in Portugal . It is grown mainly in the southern part of Portugal in the Alentejo region. In 1999, 918 hectares of vineyards were raised.

The late-ripening and high-yielding variety makes light table wines . The berries have a very thick skin and are slightly fragrant. The Manteudo variety is therefore also popular locally as a table grape .

Synonyms: Mantheudo, Manteúdo, Monetudo, Vale Grosso

Ampelographic varietal characteristics

In ampelography , the habitus is described as follows:

  • The shoot tip is open. It is hairy white wool and colored carmine red. The yellow young leaves are lightly hairy woolly.
  • The medium-sized and comparatively thick leaves are five-lobed and deeply indented (see also the article leaf shape ). The stem bay is lyren- or U-shaped open. The leaf surface (also called the leaf blade) is blistered and rough.
  • The cone-shaped grape is medium to large, shouldered and dense berries. The round berries are medium to large in size and from whitish to orange yellow.

The grape variety ripens almost 25 days after the Gutedel . It is therefore considered to ripen late in an international comparison. Manteudo is a variety of the noble grapevine ( Vitis vinifera ). It has hermaphroditic flowers and is therefore self-fruiting. In viticulture , the economic disadvantage of not having to grow male plants that produce yield is avoided.
