Souzao

Souzao (suh-zay-oh) is a Portuguese variety, this name being used for it in the Douro Valley where it is ranked in the second highest-quality group for producing port. It is also grown in the Minho region where it is known as Vinhao, and to a slight extent in the neighbouring areas of Spain under the name of Souson. It has also become very successful in California and South Africa.
