Rueda's aromatic, herbal white
Verdejo
Spain's vibrant, herb-tinged white — fresh, citrusy, and gently nutty, the signature of Rueda.
The Grape
Verdejo is the signature white grape of Rueda in central Spain. It gives aromatic, medium-bodied dry whites with citrus, white peach, fennel, and a characteristic bitter-almond and herbal twist, balanced by fresh acidity.
History & Origins
An old Castilian variety long made into oxidative styles, Verdejo was transformed from the 1970s into the fresh, aromatic white that made Rueda one of Spain's most successful white wine regions.
