Treixadura

White elegance and Galician character

Treixadura is one of Galicia's most prized traditional white varieties. It is especially linked to Ribeiro, where it plays a leading role due to its ability to produce elegant, fresh, and balanced wines. It is also present in other Galician regions such as Monterrei, Valdeorras, and Ribeira Sacra, as well as northern Portugal, where it is known as Trajadura.

Its style is characterized by moderate acidity, good structure, and a delicate aromatic expression. In the glass, it typically shows notes of apple, pear, soft citrus, white flowers, and a slightly mineral background, resulting in pleasant, gastronomic wines with very good balance.

Although it is often associated with young and fresh white wines, Treixadura can also offer more profound elaborations when aged on lees or blended with other Galician varieties. Its ability to provide volume, elegance, and persistence makes it a highly valued grape for those seeking white wines with identity, but without excessive aromatics.

At VinNatura, we are interested in Treixadura for its finesse and versatility. It is a variety that reflects the diversity of Galician wine very well: fresh, gastronomic, balanced, and perfect for pairing with seafood, fish, rice dishes, vegetarian cuisine, mild cheeses, and special appetizers.
