15 Reviews

$14.99 $17.99

As delicious as its preceding award-winning vintage, 2023 Terra Sara Verdejo is a fresh, versatile white wine from one of Spain’s most renowned wine regions. Dry and light to medium-bodied, this Verdejo has pleasant approachable character. Aromas of apple, citrus, and fresh herbs carry into a lively palate displaying peach, melon, and lime notes. The finish is marked by thirst-quenching acidity and a splash of tangerine. Fans of Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Grigio are sure to appreciate vibrant Verdejo, a white grape that grows almost exclusively in Spain. Grapes were nourished in Rioja, located in Northern Spain. Home to vineyard-covered hills, this region experiences a combination of cooler Atlantic influences and warmer Mediterranean influences, resulting in expressive, high-quality wines. Rioja is most known for its reds, making this white a hidden gem. This Verdejo is from Zuazo Gastó, an award-winning family winery that has been crafting artisanal wines since 1850. Their Terra Sara line represents easy-drinking wines meant to be enjoyed with a variety of foods while in the company of good friends. Best served chilled, 2023 Terra Sara Verdejo Spain is lovely sipped on its own or paired with cheese plates, fresh salad, shellfish, light fish dishes, and grilled vegetables.

Just as good 2nd time

"Not sure why the negative reviews. I feel this is a real gem in the rough. I bought it before and liked it. thought maybe I had an off night. Nope. I bought two more bottles and like it every bit as much as the first time. a bit of fragrance, lime and peach, very good mouth feel. Surprised at how well balanced it is - the varietal is supposed to be acidic like Sauv blanc, or pinot grigio- but I think it is less acidic than those. I advise against putting much chill on this wine. since it does not have a sharp acidity, does not need the chill. I like it with grilled chicken breast, grilled sole or salmon. ."

Excellent verdejo

"This wine is an excellent representation of the varietal. Drink slightly chilled just enough to help the acid step up hints of Peachy fruit and a bit of citrus makes this an excellent white for seafood especially shellfish. Also excellent with grilled white fish. As a calibration - this wine varietal is a bit less crisp, a bit less citrusy slightly more creamy on the tongue compared to a sauv blanc. Glad to see it appearing in usa"

The first bottle I opened

"The first bottle I opened was undrinkable, the second only marginally better, tasting as though sherry had been mistakenly blended in."

This wine is a nice,

"This wine is a nice, easy-drinking wine that pairs very well with seafood (shellfish and sole). It offered a citrus, yet smooth finish reminiscent of a sauvignon blanc."
