Mesta - Verdejo

The 2020 Mesta Verdejo hails from Ucles, Spain. Grown mainly in Rueda, Verdejo is the gem of this north - central Spanish region. Spanish Verdejo combines nutty, rich, and fragrant notes with Sauvignon Blanc - like traits such as grassy undertones and high acidity. Flavors of dried bay leaf, kiwi, and Meyer lemon add complexity to the wine. Clean and invigorating, it's an ideal spring or summer wine for sipping on the porch. The zesty citrus notes pair perfectly with oily fish and grilled caramelized seafood. Poultry dishes and Greek - style salads are also great accompaniments.

To enjoy this 2020 Mesta Verdejo, first, chill it in the fridge for about 1 - 2 hours. Then, pour it into a wine glass and take a moment to smell the lovely aroma. Sip it slowly to savor the complex flavors. When pairing it with food, go for oily fish, grilled caramelized seafood, poultry dishes, or Greek - style salads. Keep the wine in a cool, dark place. Once opened, seal it tightly and consume within 2 - 3 days to maintain its freshness.
