James Suckling

Yellow straw color. Fresh aromas and flavors of white flowers, cantaloupe, young peach, lime cordial, lime blossom, dried spices, and sea breeze with a round, crisp, dry-yet-fruity medium body and an engaging, medium-long roasted nut scone, coconut quark, olive, and sage finish with soft, fruit tannins and a suggestion of oak. A lovely Spanish white with great structure and delicate flavors.

Tropical mango, melon, citrus and peach-pit aromas are typical for Verdejo. Flavors of citrus peel and stone-fruit pits follow the nose, while this organic-grape offering is mildly green on a light fresh finish.

Wine Enthusiast

Delightful nose shows under-ripe green fruit, crunchy pears, lemon, and kiwi. Lively on the palate with aromatic lime zest, and notes of ripe guava, pink grapefruit, tarragon, crushed herbs, and celery. Granza Verdejo finishes with a bit of chalk dust. It is a light wine with racy acidity and a cool mouthfeel.

Enjoy with:

Succulent seafood, roasted poultry, steamed vegetables, and paella. A great picnic wine, pairing nicely with salads, crispy fried chicken, and baguette and charcuterie sandwiches.

GRANZA is the name of a story linked to a land, the trace of the heads of wheat left by the wind on the field, a field that eventually hosts the roots of our vines located in the heart of the D. O. Ribera de Duero and the D. O. Rueda.

The origin of these wines of exceptional quality has been handed down from generation to generation, farming vineyards with special characteristics that make them be the best because of its altitude, location, orientation and the special care in organic farming. GRANZA keeps the same care and respect for the land and the environment with which our ancestors farmed the land.

These origins, besides of a continuous search for the highest quality of the grapes and the elaboration process, are the key to produce these elegant and unique wines.
