Comments	This grape variety is native to northern Portugal and northwestern Spain. Gouveio is grown on continental Portugal (primarily the Alentejo and Dão regions). The grape was formerly known as Verdelho but the name was officially changed in 2000 to Gouveio. This grape is known in Spain as Godello. Gouveio (formerly Verdelho) is not the same grape as the Verdelho variety grown on the islands of Madeira and the Azores.
