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.
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.
Well, there's plenty of generosity in this Val de Vid Rueda Verdejo. A complex youngster that will delight your taste buds. Initially, you'll discover an abundance of fruit in this Val de Vid white wine: Granny Smith and ripe white pear. But the refreshing notes of grapefruit are also clearly discernible. The flavor is almost legendary, with pronounced nuances of apple, gooseberry, and fennel. A faint hint of honeysuckle completes the Val de Vid Rueda Verdejo.
