| 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.
