Introduction:
A vibrant and refreshing white from Spain’s Rueda region, the 2024 Bodegas Yllera Boada Verdejo is a delightful expression of the verdejo grape—showcasing crispness, bright fruit, and zesty acidity.
Terrior:
Grown on sandy and clay-loam soils in Rueda, the vineyards benefit from a continental climate marked by hot, dry summers and cold winters, giving the wine its pronounced acidity and mineral backbone.
Tasting notes:
The 2024 Bodegas Yllera Boada Verdejo Rueda has a bright, straw-yellow color with greenish reflections and a complex, aromatic nose of lemon peel, grapefruit, green apples, and pears, with subtle hints of fennel. The palate is light- to medium-bodied, with flavors of citrus fruits, green apples, pears, and white peaches, with a touch of minerality and vibrant acidity that carries through to the long finish.
