Castillo de Mureva Organic Verdejo, Castilla

Organic farming in Spain started in the 1970?s, since 2008 the amount of vineyard space dedicated to organic grapes has nearly doubled and continues to grow. This success has been due to the climate which prevents various diseases such as mould and mildew as well as low rainfall not being able to sustain weeds and inter vine foliage. This fresh and crisp wine has flowery and fruity aromas. On the palate, it has a rich smooth body with balanced acidity and hints of fennel, herbs, citrus fruits, melon and peach.

About the Wine

Verdejo

Vehr-DEEK-yo

Arguably Spain's finest white grape variety, a herbaceous white wine that grows almost exclusively in the Rueda region of Spain. Not to be confused with Verdelho, a Portuguese grape used primarily in Madeira. Typically Verdejo dominated wines are crisp with soft, creamy, nutty overtones, and often accompanied by notes of honey.

Flavours:

Almond
Grapefruit
Honey
