Menade Verdejo is an ecological white wine from Rueda made by Bodegas Menade, a project of the Sanz brothers established in 2005.  Menade Verdejo is made from 100% Verdejo grapes from vineyards between 18 and 30 years old.  The vines are grown organically; for treatment, herbal teas or whey are used instead of harsh chemicals.  Winemaker Alejandra Sanz has been happily traveling the world promoting the terroir of the Spanish Rueda region and the premium wines of her own creation: Menade. 

Tasting Notes:
Organic and vegan-friendly, this wild-fermentation Verdejo has its eco-credentials sorted.  Made from selected plots of Verdejo grown at 700-800m and vinified separately, it's a ripe, fruity style with exuberant aromas of peach and juicy pear.  Creamy-textured palate thanks to time on lees, but with crisp acidity adding bite to the finish.  Zesty lemon sherbet, lime, and grapefruit balance the ripe peachiness of the mid-palate with a clean note of fennel too.
