Verdejo From Rueda

Verdejo is mostly grown in the Rueda D.O. (part of Castilla Y Leon), where the tradition of wine making dates back to the 11th century.  Verdejo makes light, bright-acid white wines with hints of grapefruit, lemon, and lime. Think Pinot Grigio and Sauvignon Blanc with a Spanish accent. The three most common styles are joven (young,  fresh and fruity), sobre lias (aged sur-lie) with more depth, and barrel aged wines with both body and depth. Best of all, most Verdejos are affordably priced for that easygoing summer vibe.
