Treixadura

The grape is primarily a blending variety that adds body and light lemony aromatics to wines.

[1][2] In Portugal, Treixadura is primarily found in the Minho wines of Vinho Verde which includes 58,000 hectares (143,300 acres) of DOC plantings near the Spanish border and another 12,000 ha (29,650) outside the DOC boundaries.

[3] In Spain, while Treixadura is most commonly found in the Rías Baixas and Ribeiro Denominación de Origen (DO)s, it is also found in other Galician wines such as the Monterrei DO where it is blended with Dona Blanca, Godello and Palomino.

In Rías Baixas the grape is often blended with Albariño (Alvarinho), Loureira, Caíño blanco, Torrontes and Godello.

In Ribeiro it is often blended with Albariño, Albilla, Godello, Palomino, Loureira, Macabeo and Torrontes.
