Jose Pariente Verdejo is a remarkable and stunning value. A 'must buy' from this progressive Northern Spanish estate at the forefront of fine modern Spanish white winemaking – awarded the best Spanish winery in 2012 by the Spanish Wine and Gourmet Federation.

The Verdejo grape has been established in Rueda for over 500 years – and winemaker Victoria Pariente is leading the field. You have to try this wine to believe just how good it really is.

A lovely fresh bouquet, almost Sauvignon-like, with elderflower and zesty citrus notes. A super juicy palate of lime and white stone fruits to the fore. Rounded, refreshing and very moreish.

"Light, bright gold. Complex aromas of melon, fig, lemon curd and pungent herbs. Dense but lively, with concentrated honeydew, pear and dried fig flavors energized by a bitter lemon note. Finishes very long, with lingering minerality. I really like this wine's energy and focus." Stephen Tanzer, International Wine Cellar
