Verdejo (Verdelho)

Verdejo and Verdelho are two distinct but often confused grapes that produce lively, aromatic white wines. Verdejo, native to Spain’s Rueda region, is known for its zesty citrus, herb, and fennel notes with crisp acidity, making it a refreshing choice for warm-weather sipping. Verdelho, grown in Portugal and also found in Australia, tends to be fuller-bodied with tropical fruit, spice, and a touch of richness. Both grapes deliver expressive, food-friendly wines that showcase the best of Iberian character.
