Reviews and Ratings

Jane Staples - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

This one is all about citrus! Crisp and extra-dry with loads of lemon-lime, grapefruit and herbaceous undernotes. This is a perfect hot-day-in-July white, for picnics or the cottage.
Tasted June 2016
Verdejo is gaining popularity in Spain, it is suited to its incredibly hot temperatures during the day and very cool nights -- to help create the acidity this grape is known for as is the case with this wine with lots of acidity and freshness. The nose has some light floral notes with citrus and lime zest. The wine is clean with lemon and lime flavours and a lingering minerality from lees ageing.
