Like a sea breeze in a bottle, this fresh little number hits with lemon zest, green apple, and a pop of lime - think salty air and sun-warmed grass. There’s a hint of jasmine in the mix, and a playful pear drop note that keeps it fun. Light-bodied, zippy, and just the right amount of salty - this is your ultimate crisp, summer smasher.

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 its 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 actually originated in North Africa and were brought to Spain around 1100AD.
