Yellow straw color. Aromas and flavors of orange blossom, honey almonds, bruleed lemon, and flint with a satiny, vibrant, dry-yet-fruity medium body and an even, interesting, medium-length finish with suggestions of hints of caramelized fruit with a suggestion of oak flavor. A balanced, bright and sunny Verdejo with cheerful floral nuance and excellent balance.

About

Verdejo

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.
