Verdejo
Verdejo is a variety of wine grape that has long been grown in the Rueda region of Spain. The grape originated in North Africa, and was spread to Rueda in about the 11th Century, possibly by Mozarabs.〔("Verdejo" ), webpage of . Retrieved 2008-03-07.〕 Verdejo was generally used to make a strongly oxidized, Sherry-like wine. In the 1970s, the winemaking company Marqués de Riscal began to develop a fresher style of white wine based on Verdejo with the help of French oenologist Émile Peynaud.〔Asimov, Eric (2008). ("Wines of the Times: Emerging, in Spain, to Warm Applause" ), ''The New York Times'', March 5, 2008. Online version retrieved 2008-03-07.〕 In 1980, white wines from the Rueda region were recognized by a Denominación de Origen (DO). Wines labeled ''Rueda'' must contain 50% Verdejo; the remainder is typically Sauvignon blanc or Macabeo. Wines designated "Rueda Verdejo" must contain 85% Verdejo, and are often 100% Verdejo.〔("Back labels" ), webpage of . Retrieved 2008-03-07.〕
The Verdejo grapes are generally harvested at night. This means that the grapes enter the cellar at the lower night-time temperature of instead of the daytime temperature, which can be as high as in September. Lower temperatures means less oxidation, or browning of the juice. 〔("D.O. Verdejo" ), webpage from the Excel Wines website retrieved 27-May-2008.〕 Verdejo wines are aromatic, often soft, and full-bodied.〔("Wines from Spain: Grape Variety" ), webpage from Wines From Spain website retrieved November 16, 2011〕
