Vijariego

The white grape variety originates from Spain. Synonyms are Bujariego, De Diego, Diego, Verijadiego Blanco, Vijariego Blanco, Vijiriega Blanca, Vijiriega Común, Vijiriego and Vujariego. According to DNA analyses carried out in 2013, it originates from a presumably natural cross between Hebén x unknown father variety. However, this is based on only 20 DNA markers (see molecular genetics). It was mentioned in 1807 under the name Vigiriega Común as a widespread variety in Andalusia. It was introduced to the Canary Islands towards the end of the 15th century together with the varieties Listán Prieto, Moscatel (possibly Muscat d'Alexandrie), Palomino and Torrontés.
