Verdejo
Verdejo is a Spanish white grape closely associated with Rueda. It is distinct from both Madeira Verdelho and Gouveio, despite historical confusion among those names.
Identity and growing conditions
Rauscedo describes a medium, rounded five-lobed leaf and a slightly open lyre-shaped petiolar sinus. The cylindrical bunch is relatively loose and small to medium, with rounded yellow-green berries.
Wine styles and uses
The nursery describes fruity wines with herbal impressions, acidity and body, including single-variety and blended examples. Barrel fermentation or maturation is possible; these are cellar choices rather than separate grape identities.
