Treixadura Grape: Jewel of Ribeiro Treixadura is a refined white grape, the pride of Ribeiro vineyards. Sensitive to altitude, it thrives in valleys and slopes, yielding 12-15 tons per hectare. It requires warm soils and is moderately susceptible to oidium and mildew but highly vulnerable to grey mould and excoriose.
Wines made from Treixadura are aromatic with a fine bouquet, featuring fruit, floral, and balsamic notes. They typically have 12-13.5% alcohol and balanced acidity, making them fresh and delicious. While single-variety Treixadura wines exist, most are blends with other native grapes, resulting in unique, well-balanced wines that age well in bottles.
