100% Ver-DAY-ho
Verdejo may not be very well known internationally, but is a white grape varietal in the Rueda, in Castilla Leon in northern Spain, making high quality, dry, aromatic wines. In their youth, the wines have crisp acidity with refreshing flavors of citrus, including lemon, lime, and grapefruit, herbs, and citrus blossom. With age, the wine becomes richer and nuttier with bitter almond nuances/ bitter almonds.
