Verdejo

Spain’s answer to Sauvignon Blanc, Verdejo is crisp, herbal, and slightly nutty, with notes of green apple, citrus, and fennel. Rueda is its stronghold, where it thrives in dry, sun-drenched vineyards while retaining vibrant acidity. In youth, it is zesty and refreshing; with age, it develops a richer, waxy texture reminiscent of aged white Rioja. Often mistaken for Sauvignon Blanc, its distinct almond-like bitterness sets it apart. A versatile white, it pairs well with seafood, tapas, and light salads. Whether bright and citrus-driven or layered and nutty, Verdejo offers a refreshing and characterful expression of Spanish terroir.
