Terrantez branco

Leaves medium-sized, tomentose on the underside, though with sparse tomentum, and on the upper side sub-glabrous, pubescent or scattered here and there with a few rather long hairs; upper lobes usually clearly visible and often pointed, the lower ones poorly defined or absent; teeth unequal, generally shallow, triangular, acute or sub-acute; petiolar sinus more or less open; lateral sinuses generally closed; bunches short, 10–15 centimetres, dense, cylindrical, sub-globose or cylindrical-conical, sometimes winged; berries globose, 12–20 millimetres, fairly firm, golden when ripe, very sweet. Canes brown or brownish-chestnut, with short internodes. Grown on Porto Santo (‘holy harbour’), it seems to be extinct or almost extinct on Madeira. It produces good wine and very tasty table grapes’.
