Old Vine Verdejo

Verdejo is a white varietal found almost exclusively in Rueda, Spain 🇪🇸 . This is it’s happy place 😊 thanks to the sandy soils, altitude and high diurnal temperature shifts. These factors contribute to its higher spectrum acidity and lively flavors of lime, melon, peach, fennel and grass. It is a great alternative to Sauvignon Blanc as well as an ideal food pairing wine.

🍷 Creamy texture with a bouquet of freshly cut honeysuckle (think cream, lemon and honey all mixed together) with fresh fruits (green apple, honeydew melon, pineapple, lime, passion fruit, white peach), minerals, grass and fennel to round it out with a sweet spice finish of honeyed vanilla & white pepper that just hums in your mouth. It’s lovely acidity carries the flavors for a long time.
