A variety that is full of stories, especially on El Hierro, where it is even finer and more elegant. The color is of low-intensity, but very attractive and crisp.

It is a polyvalent wine that goes well with meat, fish, and cheese.

Trivia
The red Verijadiego is a variety that has been rescued in this century because, in former days, there was no tradition of producing wine solely from this grape, “even though it is a very interesting variety that occurs only in very limited areas,” according to researcher, Rafael Armas.
