Sweetness: Dry

Grapes: Verdejo

Grape info: Indigenous to the appellation of Rueda in Castilla y Leon (north central Spain), Verdejo is a rising star, producing highly aromatic, full-bodied wines that respond well to barrel fermentations and aging. Now the fifth most planted white variety in Spain. 

About: Marco Real’s mission is one that assures quality, diversity and a selection of wines from the leading Spanish designations of origin (DOs), seeking to deliver unique, idiosyncratic wines that speak of where they originate. The Mirador de la Sierra range is crafted by 8th generation winemakers and beacons of innovation, the Belasco family. 

Tasting note: An intense nose of citrus and dried herbs. Fresh and elegant on the palate, with notes of grapefruit, melon and white peach. 

Character: Grapefruit, melon, white peach.
