Memo Summary Notes
The 2023 Marqués de Cáceres Verdejo is a vibrant, crisp white wine from the Rueda region of Spain. While the estate is famously rooted in Rioja, they have become one of the most reliable producers in Rueda, specializing in the Verdejo grape which thrives in the region's gravelly, high-altitude soils.
This wine is widely considered one of the best "bang-for-your-buck" Spanish whites, offering a profile that sits somewhere between a Sauvignon Blanc and a Pinot Grigio.

Zekun Shuai writes: An elegant verdejo nose with subtle notes of white almond, fennel, green apples and lemon rind. Quite sleek and round on the medium-bodied palate with a hint of bitter almond in the pithy, dry finish. Vegan. Drink now. - James Suckling 90
Joaquin Hidalgo writes: The 2022 Verdejo originates from Serrada, Rueda. Green in hue, this wine presents green apple and minty aromas. On the palate, it is refreshing with a well-rounded mouthfeel—a straightforward and tasty representation of Rueda. Drinking 2024 to 2032.
Alison Napjus writes: This balanced, light-bodied white offers a pleasing juiciness paired with a lightly creamy texture on the palate, with a pretty range of ripe melon, white peach, grated ginger, pink grapefruit zest, white blossom and vanilla accents. Drink now. - Wine Spectator
