Souzão; Sousão
[suh-ZAH-oh; shuh-ZAH-oh]
Although this red-wine grape is indigenous to northern Portugal, it's not widely grown there. Souzão has met with greater success in California and South Africa, where it's more highly regarded for PORT production. This variety produces deep-colored wines with concentrated ripe and raisiny flavors.
