I didn't want to start playing with this page, but I believe it is seriously in error, in that "Periquita" is a proprietary name (owned by the Jose Maria Da Fonseca winery^[1]) used for red-wine blends that include the Castelão grape, but can also include others; it is not itself a grape name. (The da Fonseca winery produces at least three Periquitas, only one of which, the "Classico", is 100% Castelão.)

Castelão was also widely known as Castelão Frances, but I gather that Portugal tightened up its wine laws a few years ago, and the official name of the grape is now simply "Castelão".

If someone with more expertise in making new pages is reading this, a page for the Castelão grape, with a cross-reference here, would be A Good Thing. I don't want to edit this page till such a new page exists. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Owlcroft (talk • contribs) 00:47, 1 March 2014 (UTC)Reply
