Verdejo

Verdejo

Verdejo is a captivating white grape variety primarily cultivated in the Rueda region of Spain. It holds a prestigious rank amongst Spain's finest white grape variants due to the enigmatic, intense quality and distinctive character of the wines produced from it. Verdejo vines are positioned for optimal exposure to the sunny Spanish climate, ensuring the perfect maturation of the grapes.

Aged in centuries-old vineyards, the Verdejo grape embodies a complex, compelling flavour profile. It is known for its fresh, aromatic taste with high acidity and notes of herbs, fennel, citrus, and green almond. It also subtlely fuses with stone fruit, apple, and pear characteristics on the palate, delivering a harmonious amalgamation of flavours.

The embellishing spirit of the variety is typically produced as a varietal wine, though winemakers sometimes blend it with Viura or Sauvignon Blanc to enhance its opulence. The result is a range of wines from fruit-forward, floral tones to rich, full-bodied wines aged on their lees.

Verdejo wines are visually appealing with a brilliant star-bright colour that ranges from pale yellow to gold, depending on the aging process. When aged in oak, Verdejo reveals an intriguing texture and complexity, with fresh acidity complementing the rounded richness.

This special Spanish grape variety is distinctive for its balance and brightness. It effortlessly competes with white wines across the border in France and Italian Pinot Grigio as it pairs well with a wide range of dishes, from light salads to hearty seafood.

From production to consumption, the Verdejo grape carries a distinctive charm. It exudes a sense of place, and despite its globalisation efforts, the wine's heart firmly remains in its homeland. Island-inspired, Verdejo is a true treasure of Spanish winemaking, offering a taste sensation that is both unique and absolutely remarkable.
