Airén

Airén is the most widely planted grape variety in Spain. This white-skinned grape is better known for its sturdiness, and though it was mainly used as a blending grape or in production of brandy and table wines, some winemakers have seen its potential in the production of crisp, good-quality varietals.

Wines made from Airén grapes are light and typically low in acidity, with fruity aromas reminiscent of green apples, pineapple, and citrus fruit, while the best examples will usually also display rose nuances. These easy-drinking wines usually have moderate acidity and perfectly pair with white fish and seafood.
