Marmajuelo

Marmajuelo is a rare but promising white variety from the Canary Islands, mainly found on La Gomera and El Hierro. Although it is still rarely cultivated, it is currently experiencing a revival as it has a great potential to produce exciting, high-quality white wines.

Marmajuelo is used in blends and can make great varietal wines. The examples are usually full-bodied, aromatic, and crisp. They often have a distinctive mineral or saline-like quality. The aromas found in these wines are citrusy, floral, and herbal, reminiscent of tropical fruit and bay leaf.
