Ungrafted vines of American origin, planted on the island in response to the twin plagues of oidium and phylloxera after 1850. For decades, these used to make their way into less expensive madeira blends, but this laxity was firmly outlawed upon Portugal’s entry into the EEC. The grapes are still able to be used in making vinho seco.
