Marques de Riscal, Rueda, Verdejo

Very drinkable. High acid is integrated well with ripe orchard and citrus, and some mild lime pith bitterness. Terrific value. Good.

2021 vintage

An uncommon grape. Not much on the nose. Herby (fennel, maybe dill), melon peel. Certainly refreshing. Serve it cold from the fridge.

2023 vintage

Not loads of character but plenty of concentration of apple, pear, grapefruit and a green streak of tomato leaf. A good refreshing wine.

2023 vintage

Tasted blind, thought it was a Pessac Leognan Blanc. The wine shows a pale lemon colour with pronounced aromas of citrus fruits (grapefruit, lemon), green apple, subtle white peach, delicate herbal notes (fresh-cut grass, nettle), and restrained lees-derived characteristics (biscuit, yeast). On the palate, it displays medium-plus acidity, medium body, moderate alcohol (13%), and clear mineral undertones (wet stone). Good quality, I’d definitely pay two times more for this (it’s about 10 EUR).

2023 vintage

By the glass at Riu Palace Oasis, Maspalomas, Gran Canaria. Bright light to medium lemon colour. Citrus, lime, peach, tropical notes, pineapple, and grassy/herbaceous notes, with fresh, medium level acidity and good length. Medium- to light-bodied, with pleasant light bitterness on the finish. The aromatic profile of this 2023 is astonishingly similar to Sauvignon Blancs, just with lower acidity. I suggest to drink this wine young, while the fruit is still fresh.

2021 vintage

Floral bouquet notes, chamomile, acid, high tannins, honey, apricot, jammy. Friends got it for us and i loved it.

2021 vintage

This is an anchor wine in terms of rankings for us. Some tartness for better food pairings. A great value for a wine with such refinement. Need to test vis à vis Chateau des Charmes Aligoté.

Unintentionally cellared… Interesting nose with oily flowers and some tropical fruits. Palate is mainly covered by citrus flavours and a quite bitter end.

2015 vintage

Light yet creamy with lemon tart, lime, hints of spice and honey. Bright and Excellent.

2015 vintage

Bij het heerlijke warme weer geopend en koel gedronken bij de saoto soep. Uitstekende match, het frisse bitter van de Verdejo met het bittertje van de taugé en de pittig, gekruide soep. Minder goed bij de daarna volgende Vietnamese loempia. Voor de rest, prima, fruitig en knisperend fris, mooie zuren en grapefruit bittertje,

2015 vintage

What a nice food wine with fish. Very balanced, good fruit with super integrated acidity. Perfect with white fish dish

2015 vintage

Tastes a bit spoofy - a bit of cheap oak, poorly integrated acid, and a simple yellow raisin and green apple flavor. Still, it's got some energy and isn't offensive. you can do a lot worse for $9.

2013 vintage

Cant go wrong with Verdejo and shellfish. Marques de Riscal started to replant the Verdejo variety in 1972 and significantly influenced that Rueda region got DO status in 1980. Floral nose, pronounced acidic and nice peppery finish. Price is unbeatable.

2015 vintage

This is a Rose Wine and I enjoyed it. It was even fine with roasted lamb. Enjoyable and recommended.

Frisk och fruktig doft med gul exotisk frukt (citron, mango och ananas). Friskt, ungt, knappt medelfylligt, med bra, läskande syra. Gott!

2015 vintage

Still fresh but to drink now. It is gradually becoming tired. Aroma of lime blossom.

2013 vintage

Very good vintage?, fresh, round and juicy wine, with sufficiant acidity at the end; supported very well a combination of smoked salmon, vinigar, acidity and ognions.

2015 vintage

Youthful greenish color. Very lush, ripe and sweet nose with primary, fruity aromas of peach, some banana and a hint of pear and pear drops. The sweet nose leads to expect similar kind of flavors, but the palate is surprisingly light, dry, crisp and with good acid zip. Intense flavors of fresh citrus fruits, acid-driven lemon, some grassy notes, hints of ripe tropical fruits and rather pronounced bitterness. Crisp, refreshing finish with high acidity and flavors of lemony citrus fruits, …

Verdejo e Viura. 12,5% abv. Rolha. Amarelo pálido. Nariz adocicado, que remete a compota de pêssegos e de abacaxis. Na boca é bastante leve, com acidez medíocre, um pouco insosso. Beba o mais cedo possível!

I'm not keen on verdejo but I have to admit that this one suprise me. You can find almost everything that you ask to this variety. Even the bitter taste at finish. Also it has a really qpr price.

2010 vintage

A lot of Verdejo this summer, at my parents home even. Clean, pale colour. Timid on the nose, only some lemon bark. Really nice palate with hay, fresh grasss and a sweet (defect?) finish. We have better examples than this bottle. Pairing a muffled hake. Un montón de Verdejo este verano, incluso en el hogar de mis padres. Coñor limpio, pálido. Tímida en nariz, solo corteza de limón. Realmente una boca rica con heno, cesped freco y un final dulce …

Lemon, pear, ripe apple, lemon herb on the nose and the palate; very balanced, expressive, aromatic, refreshing... very good quality for its price, a pleasure to drink. Better on the second day.

Similarities to Sauvignon Blanc. Zippy acidity, light+ body, dry, somewhat bitter, decently lengthy finish. Smells like herbs, citrus, and sand. Lime, grapefruit, and herbs on the palate. Definitely better with food.

Drank with friends for dinner, very nice wine, and went well with chicken, pasta and cream sauce

This is a light white wine with a marked bitterness. The overall flavor profile is grapefruit. There is no oak or tannin. The wine is ok but not to my taste.

Why to spend so much money buying boring NZ SB when we have this Verdejo gems here? Herby, limony, refreshing and with a watery texture. Good vintage indeed. Balanced. Lovely bitterness when finishing. At Pitoñi restaurant, CR with my women-shy Antonio, paring a fresh Dover sole. Check it out! Both wine and restaurant. Porque gastar tanto dinero comprando aburrido SB de NZ cuando tienes estas gemas de Verdejo aquí? Herbaceo, limonado, refrescante y con una textura acuosa. Buena añada sin …
