Verdejo
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.

Clean and pure on the nose, with popping apple and green melon aromas. The palate has a linear, crystal-clean feel along with fresh flavors of lime, lettuce and gooseberry. Super crisp, snappy and polished; a live-wire, citrusy specimen perfect for summer sipping.

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.

Valdelainos 2005 Verdejo (Rueda)
- Best Buy
- $11
Delicous Verdejo with no pretenses. The nose is big and oily, but still fresh and full of green herbs and citrus fruits. Solid, stand-up flavors of melon and peach are nice, and there’s even some nuttiness to the stone-fruit dominated finish. A bargain white that touches the right notes.

Condesa Eylo 2009 Verdejo (Rueda)
- Best Buy
- $14
Nice and fragrant, with citrus and passion fruit at the heart of the zesty bouquet. Still fresh courtesy of core acidity, with green melon, passion fruit, grapefruit and citrus flavors. Right now it’s showing the right blend of maturity and liveliness; a fine Verdejo that may be benefitting from 5% Sauvignon Blanc. Drink this year.
