Yellow straw color. Aromas and flavors of orange zest, almost ripe peaches, baked orchard fruit, and MLF as a light cream or creme fraiche. with a velvety, lively, dry medium body and an interesting, medium-length finish revealing accents of baked pear, lemon curd, potpourri, and salinity.

Serve in a White Wine Glass
Verdejo is a white grape that grows almost exclusively in Spain, specifically in Rueda, Spain. It primarily offers up a light-bodied style of wine with notes of citrus and grass and is often compared to Sauvignon Blanc. Verdejo can be aged for several years, giving it a nuttier texture and flavor profile. Its higher acidity allows it to complement dishes and cheeses that pair well with citrusy flavors.
