The Verdejo wines from Spain
When talking about Verdejo grapes, we can hardly ignore Rueda. This region, northwest of the Spanish capital Madrid, has developed into a true powerhouse within Spanish viticulture in just forty years. The Verdejo grape, in particular, plays a significant role in this. Verdejo accounts for 90% of Rueda's vineyards. This is largely thanks to Dutch wine drinkers, who have fully embraced Verdejo wines.
Why buy Val de Vid Rueda Verdejo?
The Verdejo grapes thrive in the Rueda region, a region that doesn't have as long a history as, for example, the Rioja. It wasn't until the mid-1980s that vines were fully planted in Rueda. Thanks in part to sound innovations and investments by leading wineries, we can now enjoy the bounty that Verdejo has to offer.
