The Grapes 

Loureiro

Though existing in almost the entire region of Vinhos Verdes, it is originally from the valley of the River Lima. Although it is a very productive and fertile grape variety, it has only recently been considered “noble”.
Loureiro”s bunches are big and not very compact, while the berries are medium-sized and yellowish or greenish coloured.

Loureiro produces high acidity wines, with very strong floral and fruity aromas.
It produces “monovarietal” wines (single grape variety), but is also often used in blend wines (mixture of several grape varieties), combined with Trajadura and Pederña.

Trajadura

Trajadura is originally from the Vinhos Verdes region, particularly the sub-region of Monção, though it has expression in Galicia (Spain). It quickly spread to other sub-regions, being grown in almost the entire region of Vinhos Verdes.
This grape variety has good production. Its bunches are medium-sized, very compact and made up of big yellowish green berries.

Wines produced with this grape variety don”t have intense aromas and are usually a little unbalanced. Trajadura is usually blended with Loureiro or, sometimes, with Alvarinho (grape varieties from the same region and more aromatic), in order to endow the wines with a higher alcohol content and better balance.

Pederña

Pederña is a very versatile grape variety and, for this reason, it is grown in almost every wine region. Pederña bunch is big, compact and made up of small or medium-sized, yellowish berries. This grape variety is usually used in the production of blend (more than one grape variety) and sparkling wines. Produces high acidity monovarietal wines (single grape variety), which are citrine coloured and markedly floral and fruity (when young).
