The grape

Verdejo

Best known in Rueda

Rueda's signature white grape. Fresh and aromatic, with grapefruit, fennel, herbs and a slightly bitter finish. Crisp, lively and good value, it is a fine match for tapas, and some producers age it on lees or in oak for extra texture.

Where it's from

Rueda

Spain

In Castilla y León, south-west of Valladolid, and Spain's best-known home of Verdejo. High altitude and big temperature swings give crisp, aromatic whites with citrus, herbal notes and a hint of bitter almond. Sauvignon Blanc does well too. Fresh, reliable whites that are hard to beat for value.
