Verdejo characteristics.

In appearance, the Verdejo grape is very green in colour, has large seeds and compact clusters. Verdejo wines can be young and pleasant, perfect to enjoy as a white wine by the glass, but there are also complex and creamy barrel-aged Verdejos.

Verdejo wine tasting.

On the palate they are a fruity adventure with hints of melon, pineapple, passion fruit, mango and peach. There are also vegetal notes of fennel, anise and hay as well as other citrus notes like grapefruit, limes and similar that provide great freshness.

Verdejo pairings.

Verdejos are perfect to enjoy with spicy meals, because their final bitter taste helps to cleanse these flavours. Mexican or Asian food can be a great companion for a good Verdejo, as well as other foods with oily textures.
