The vine variety Verdejo

 
 
The vine variety Verdejo

Verdejo is one of Spain’s best white grapes. It is the most celebrated grape from the DO region of Rueda. In this region it produces unique white wines with lots of character. These days the Verdejo grape is predominantly used for making fruity young aromatic wines. In earlier times Verdejo was traditionally used for making the so-called "vinos de solera" (produced in the “solera” procedure) and "rancios" (aged by a special process of oxidation).

Wine
Today’s young white wine is green-yellow in color, with an intensive fruity bouquet (gooseberry, green kiwi, passion fruit, citrus) flowery to dry (herbacious), quite juicy in the palate with harmonious body and intensive fruit aroma.
