Wines made from Verdejo grapes of Murcie
Discover the best wines made with Verdejo as a single variety or as a blend of Murcie.
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.
Wine region of southeastern Spain on sunny high plateaus, 3 DOs fanning out: Jumilla, Yecla, Bullas. Monastrell (Mourvedre) reigns in red (~80% of the vineyard): dense and sunny with signature notes of black mulberry, candied black cherry, garrigue, leather, liquorice and a sweet spice touch, firm tannins and a warm palate — pomegranate robe, sustained alcohol, often own-rooted. Round Grenache, supple Tempranillo, peppery Syrah. Southern wines with outstanding value.
