Pedral

About this grape variety

An old Portuguese red of the Minho, Pedral overlaps in some uses with Galicia's Sousón and is today rarely planted on either side of the border. Wines tend to be lean, naturally acidic and fragrant with red-fruit and herbal notes — exactly the cool-climate profile that quality producers are now seeking. Preserved mostly by small producers, ampelographic collections and a handful of estates exploring the heritage varieties of the wider Minho.
