Wines made from Verdejo grapes of Tierra de León
Discover the best wines made with Verdejo as a single variety or as a blend of Tierra de León.
Lively, aromatic whites with sharp acidity and a sleek palate, with intense aromas of grapefruit, lime, fresh herbs, fennel, green almond and saline notes. Typically slightly bitter finish. Absolute star of Rueda DO in Castile-León, now widely exported. Also made as lees-aged and oak-influenced structured cuvées. Native Spanish variety, an ancient Castilian grape.
DO of northern Castile-Leon (since 2019 DO Leon), continental plateau, sandy and stony soils. Signature Prieto Picudo as red king (~70% of vineyard): deep and colored with black cherry, blackberry, plum, violet, licorice and spice notes, vivid acidity and firm tannins — unique and atypical character. Supple, fruity Mencia in the north (cherry, raspberry, herbs). Native Albarin Blanco as taut white (green apple, citrus, flowers).
