Verdejo
Palacio de Bornos 2009 Verdejo (Rueda)
- $15
A well-made and refreshing wine for the price. The nose is crisp and smells of nettles, grapefruit, cilantro and stony minerals, while the feel is zesty and the flavors bring a mix of green fruits, citrus and tropicality. Stays on point from start to finish. A fine wine for summer sipping.

Cuatro Rayas 2009 Viñedos Centenarios Verdejo (Rueda)
- $18
Pungent, grassy and ultrafresh, with citric aromas and textbook scents of wild grass, nettles and passionfruit. The palate is similar, with passionfruit, green melon and citrus front and center. The feel is wet and flashy, and overall this is a very nice wine to match with salads, fish and the like.

Valdelapinta 2009 Verdejo (Rueda)
- Online Exclusive
- $16
Sappy green apple, grapefruit and citrus aromas are welcoming and pure, while the palate is soft-edged, citrusy and full or tangerine and melon flavors. A good, honest, clean Verdejo that has sure-fire mass appeal. More solid than special, which is what you should want from this kind of wine.

Naia 2007 Naiades Verdejo (Rueda)
- $29
Fleshy and rich, with a clear reflection of barrel fermentation on the nose, palate and finish. This is plump Verdejo with match stick and toasty vanilla on the bouquet. It’s full, round and toasted in the mouth, with spiced apple and vanilla flavors. Oaky and mature; drink this Spanish ode to Burgundy now.

Blanco Nieva 2010 Verdejo (Rueda)
- $22
Citrus, passion fruit and lime are draped all over the quality bouquet. The palate is juicy and offers a mild spritzy feel, while the palate is sweet and easy but maintains its necessary core citrus and mineral qualities. Finishes mild, smooth and a little sweet.

Blanco Nieva 2011 Verdejo (Rueda)
- Online Exclusive
- $22
This is waxy on the nose, with the aromatic spunk of nettle and sweaty citrus. It feels fresh, minerally and zesty, with citrus, apple and green herb flavors. It’s solid, smooth and elegant on the finish, which turns slightly bitter as it concludes.

Nisia 2011 Old Vines Verdejo (Rueda)
- $15
The bouquet on this Verdejo is as chiseled and clean as polished glass, with mineral and lime notes. The wine is fresh and melony in the mouth, with honeydew, mango and green herb flavors. It’s a bit pithy on the finish, and overall there’s a citric feel to this old-vines white.
