This Verdejo, Tempranillo Blanco and Viura blend has a bit of everything with lime and steely minerality on the nose with a hint of banana and honeyed tones. The palate has an expressive mid-palate with a touch of ripe peach before the searing acid washes over to finish things off.

Origin: Spain. Mainly Grown In: The central-northern Spanish region of Rueda. Also in small amounts in the USA. Key Facts: Verdejo is the pride and joy of Rueda, in the northern part of Spain. Here it achieves it's ultimate expression - nutty, rich and aromatic. It's a real chameleon of a grape, having some characteristics of Sauvignon Blanc (grassy, high acidity), but also some richer, rounder tones. Look out for complex flavours of bay leaf, almond and lemon. Whilst the acidity can be bright and tangy, there's always plenty of depth to the wines, meaning they have a really lovely texture - soft and even creamy sometimes. A really lovely expression that deserves more attention! Fun Fact: Verdejo grapes originated in North Africa and were brought to Spain around 1100AD.
