Valdubón Verdejo Rueda

Harvest takes place at night in order to avoid high temperatures, helping minimise oxidation and the loss of aromatics. The wine is made with part of the grapes traditionally fermented in stainless steel tanks and part of grapes fermented in barrels. As a result there are delicate aromas of fennel and citrus. In the mouth, there?s a lively freshness, fine texture, and a rich finish. While the oak is present it does not mask the fruit.

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
Lime
White Peach
