Oreana Verdelho

Oreana Verdelho Wine Details
Price: $22.00 per bottle

Description: Verdelho was once Portugal's most common white wine, but centuries of market trends towards chardonnay have left it nearly extinct . . . until now. With the flavors of tropical fruit and guava, and the supple body that makes Viognier so seductive, Verdelho is destined for popularity. A wonderfully rich honey-suckle wine that goes great with Asian cuisine, spicy foods and sushi, this wine will be gone before most people know what they are missing.

Varietal Definition
Verdejo:
Good quality Spanish grape variety for white wines. The variety can oxidize relatively easy. The wines are well balanced and structured. Verdejo wines have the taste and smell of pears and can be nutty and honeyed after some aging in bottle.
