Verdejo Wine Spain

Put down the Sauvignon Blanc and pay attention! Verdejo has all the attributes of that more famous grape with a tropical twist. It is a Spanish speciality that for many years lay dormant and ignored. Brought to Spain from North Africa during the Moorish invasion, the variety is now undergoing a revolution of sorts thanks to independent winemakers like Victoria Pariente and Javier Viedel.

Verdejo is a vibrant white grape variety native to Spain, most closely associated with the Rueda region in north-west Spain. Known for its fresh acidity, herbaceous character, and distinctive notes of green apple, fennel, and a slightly bitter almond finish, Verdejo has become one of Spain's most exciting and food-friendly white wines. Often compared to Sauvignon Blanc for its zesty, aromatic profile, Verdejo tends to have a bit more body and a subtle nutty, savoury edge that sets it apart. It's typically enjoyed young and fresh, though some producers also age Verdejo on its lees to add extra texture and complexity. Our Verdejo collection features bottles from Rueda and other Spanish regions producing this versatile grape. Verdejo's bright acidity and herbal notes make it a fantastic match for seafood, tapas, fresh salads, and goat's cheese — perfect for warm weather and casual entertaining alike.
