Vibrant, Grassy & Edgy
Aromas of lime, Meyer lemon, grapefruit, grass, fennel & citrus blossom.
Unoaked style wines are clean, crisp & refreshing. Somewhat bitter flavors of grass & fennel on the finish and make the wine taste edgy.
Great food wines due to their higher acidity & subtle bitterness acting as a palate cleanser.
Verdejo wines improve with several years of bottle-aging, adding rich texture & flavors of toasted almonds.
Verdjo is named for the Spanish word verde (green). Often a blend but when labeled "Rueda Verdejo" must contain 85% Verdejo with the remainder typically Sauvignon Blanc or Macabeo. These wines usually have high-shoulder bottles (aka Bordeaux bottles).
