Description
Winemaker Notes
Bright yellow straw color, with green hints that reflect its youth. Medium high intensity, a bit fresher but slightly less complex than traditional Verdejo. Citrus notes, along with green apple and herbs appear. Dry with good acidity, but with good roundness and structure brought by the 2 months’ fine lees aging. Long finish with a slightly bitter palate, where the apple and herbal notes appear.
Pair with sushi, seafood, roasted vegetables, and ceviche.

The 2024 Protos Cuvée Verdejo is light straw in color and opens with aromas of warm garden herbs and fragrant rustic notes. On the palate, it offers a fine balance of richness and vibrant acidity, revealing chalky mineral tones that extend into a crisp, refreshing finish. This expressive Rueda white pairs beautifully with grilled scallops, oysters, and clams, or with a local Castilian seafood specialty such as Bacalao a la Ruedana—salt cod simmered gently in olive oil, garlic, and paprika. The dish’s delicate brininess and subtle spice harmonize perfectly with Verdejo’s freshness and texture. (Tasted: October 30, 2025, San Francisco, CA)
