Introduction:
A vibrant and refreshing white from Spain’s Rueda region, the 2023 Bodegas Yllera Boada Verdejo is a delightful expression of the Verdejo grape—showcasing crispness, bright fruit, and zesty character. Great for sipping on warm afternoons or pairing with light fare.
Terrior:
Grown on sandy and clay-loam soils in Rueda, the vineyard benefits from a continental climate marked by hot, dry summers and cold winters, giving the wine its pronounced acidity and mineral backbone.
Appearance:
Pale straw with greenish highlights, this wine looks fresh and youthful in the glass.
Nose:
Fresh aromas of lime zest, green apple, and pear come forward, complemented by subtle herbal notes—think fennel and fresh-cut grass—plus a hint of minerality.
Palate:
Light to medium-bodied, with crisp acidity and flavors of citrus (lemon, grapefruit), orchard fruit (pear, white peach), and a touch of green almond. The herbal accents (thyme, fennel) enhance the wine’s freshness.
Finish:
Clean, lively, and medium in length—notes of citrus and a touch of salinity linger on the palate, leaving a refreshing, zesty aftertaste.
Overall Impression:
A well-balanced, vibrant Verdejo that’s expressive yet elegant. Ideal as a summer sipper or for pairing with seafood, salads, soft cheeses, or light tapas. A great choice for everyday enjoyment.
