Wines made from Verdejo grapes of Central
Discover the best wines made with Verdejo as a single variety or as a blend of Central.
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.
Historic heart of Chilean wine (Maipo, Rapel, Curicó, Maule), between Andes and Pacific. Cabernet Sauvignon as the signature structured red: intense notes of blackcurrant, black cherry, plum, eucalyptus, mint and a peppery-spiced touch, firm tannins and dense mouthfeel (the "Bordeaux of South America"). Native Carménère with dark fruits and a unique smoky-herbaceous touch. Syrah, Merlot and Malbec as complements.
