What Verdejo tastes like
Freshly cut grass, fennel, green apple and stone fruit, with crisp acidity and a gently bitter finish that is its signature. Far from a flaw, that bitterness is what makes Verdejo work so well with food.
Verdejo from Rueda and other parts of Castile: aromatic whites with herbal notes and a gently bitter finish, from young to barrel-fermented.

Young Verdejo for aperitifs and the terrace. Lees-aged, creamier Verdejo for fish and rice. Barrel-fermented Verdejo, with body and nutty notes, for poultry and cheese. Most comes from Rueda, though other parts of Castile and León also make very interesting Verdejo.
Verdejo is more herbal, with that bitter finish; Sauvignon Blanc is more citrusy and tropical. Rueda makes both, and sometimes blends them.
