Verdejo from Rueda, Spain

Winemaker Notes

Bodegas Ordóñez works with exclusively ungrafted vineyards of Verdejo planted in the southeastern subzone of D.O. Rueda, the only part of the appellation that completely resisted phylloxera due to the sandy quality of the soils. The philosophy of the winery is to produce authentic Verdejo the old-fashioned way, by working with traditional vineyard sites and using old school winemaking techniques. A wine with exuberant citrus and floral character, refreshing acidity, and complexity from sur lie and barrel ageing.

Wine Enthusiast – 91 Points

A bouquet of Bosc pear, nectarine and brined green olives paves the way for peach, honeydew melon, fennel bulb and vanilla bean flavors. Notes of white chocolate and lemon zest endure into the vibrant finish.

Food Pairing 

Pairs well with Spanish roast chicken with Romesco & grilled onions.
