Verdejo
Verdejo is a white grape variety loved for its bright, fresh character and its ability to showcase the flavours of its growing region. Most widely associated with Spain’s Rueda, this grape often produces wines that feel crisp and welcoming from the first sip, with a clean finish that suits everything from relaxed afternoons to proper dinner plans.
On the nose, Verdejo commonly leans into aromas of citrus, pear and green apple, alongside hints of fresh herbs and sometimes a subtle touch of almond. In the glass you can expect well-balanced acidity, which helps the wine taste lively rather than heavy.
Food pairing is where Verdejo really shines. Try it with seafood, light tapas, grilled vegetables, salads with zesty dressings, or dishes featuring herbs and garlic. It’s also a great match for soft cheeses and creamy starters, as the freshness keeps flavours in harmony.
If you’re exploring the Grapes range, Verdejo is an excellent place to start for a naturally expressive, easy-to-enjoy white that still delivers plenty of detail. A bottle from this variety is ideal when you want something refreshing, versatile and thoroughly enjoyable.
