Wines made from Verdejo grapes of Méntrida
Discover the best wines made with Verdejo as a single variety or as a blend of Méntrida.
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 in northwest Toledo (Castilla-La Mancha), extreme continental climate, granitic soils, centenarian vines. Garnacha Tinta is the signature red king (>80%) in qualitative renaissance: finesse and mineral precision with red cherry, raspberry, dried flowers, herbs and pepper, silky tannins and airy transparency — compared to Pinot Noir. Tempranillo and Syrah as complements. Floral Albillo as white.
