Wines made from Verdejo grapes of Cangas
Discover the best wines made with Verdejo as a single variety or as a blend of Cangas.
Lively, aromatic whites with sharp acidity and a sleek palate, with intense aromas of grapefruit, lime, fresh herbs, fennel, green almond and saline notes. Typically slightly bitter finish. Absolute star of Rueda DO in Castile-León, now widely exported. Also made as lees-aged and oak-influenced structured cuvées. Native Spanish variety, an ancient Castilian grape.
DOP in south-western Asturias (Cangas del Narcea, Allande, Ibias…), heroic viticulture on mountain terraces (350-700 m) on slopes over 30%, cool Atlantic climate. Albarín Blanco is the native signature white: taut and aromatic with citrus, white flowers, green apple and an Atlantic mineral touch. Mencía is the signature red with red fruits, herbs and pepper notes, supple tannins. Albarín Negro, Carrasquín and Verdejo Negro are rare endemic reds.
