Golden straw color. Aromas and flavors of dehydrated apricot, tangerine, canned pineapple juice, and dried white flowers with a satiny, crisp, dry medium body and a warming, distinctive, medium-length finish manifesting overtones of lemon sorbet, dried mango, and orange marzipan. Fruity with good acidity and hints of minerality, this is a perfect companion for seafood paella.

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.
