Wine description | A bright, straw-yellow coloured wine. On the nose it has high aromatic intensity with tropical fruit and hints of fennel and fresh grass. In the mouth it is both syrupy smooth and refreshing, with a slightly bitter finish which is typical of the variety making it long and pleasant to drink. Overall it is a fresh, well-balanced wine. |

Verdejo has found a hospitable climate and soil in central Spain and it's become one of Spain's most popular white wines. Full-bodied and aromatic, it's often compared to Sauvignon Blanc.
The grapes are harvested at night to control the temperature and then fermented in stainless steel. This interesting combination of winemaking techniques results in well-rounded and complex wines.
