Although this is a rare and mostly locally grown variety, the wines created from it offer a clean and pleasantly predictable flavor profile. When choosing, it is most important to consider the winemaker's selected style.
Varduva grapes are mostly used to produce dry or semi-dry white wines. Since this variety was created for a cool climate, the drinks feature bright, crisp acidity and aromas of green apples, pears, and light spring flowers. Often, winemakers blend this variety with other local grapes to create a more complex, multi-dimensional flavor profile.
Due to their light body and crisp acidity, Varduva wines make an excellent, palate-refreshing aperitif. At the dining table, they pair ideally with fresh salad appetizers, white poultry, light fish dishes, and mild, unaged cheeses (such as curd cheese or young goat cheese).
It is a unique Lithuanian hybrid variety, bred in Lithuania by crossing different vines to achieve high resistance to winter frosts and fungal diseases. Most importantly, this resilience maintains good winemaking properties, allowing for the creation of a well-balanced drink.
No, Varduva wines best reveal their delicate floral and fruity aromas and crisp freshness when they are young. Therefore, it is recommended to consume these wines within the first 1–3 years after the harvest.
