This week Joyce's is highlighting the fresh, aromatic, Navesur Verdejo from one of Spain’s leading regions for white wines, Rueda. A great alternative to Sauvignon Blanc, Verdejo shares similar lean, citrus, and green fruit character, but offers a little more ripeness. A variety on the rise, Verdejo is fresh with an aromatic lime-lemon citrus character and crisp acidity.
Voted one of Wine Enthusiast's Top 100 Best Buys of the world, this Navesur Verdejo, selected for Joyce’s new wine range, is no exception. Fresh, aromatic with attractive floral, apple, and citrus notes, and lively acidity, this wine delivers a great deal of quality at a sensational price point. If you like Sauvignon Blanc, you will love this wine.
Navesur Verdejo is a perfect summer white to be enjoyed on its own or paired with tapas-style seafood dishes - pan-friend garlic and chilli prawns, grilled or fried calamari, monkfish goujons, and mixed salads, to name a few. It is a versatile wine that can be matched with almost any seafood, chicken, or light pasta dish.
