La Granja 360 — Verdejo & Viura 2025
Spain 🇪🇸

Overview
A lively blend of 75% Verdejo and 25% Viura, two classic Spanish white varieties that work beautifully together here. Verdejo supplies the aromatic lift, freshness, and herbal personality, while Viura rounds the edges and contributes an easygoing fruit character. At 12% ABV, this is clearly built around freshness and drinkability.

Aromas & Flavors
Fresh citrus, green apple, pear, and subtle white flowers are joined by distinctive notes of fennel, anise, and fresh herbs. Bright and aromatic without becoming overly tropical.

Mouthfeel
Light-bodied, crisp, and extremely refreshing, with energetic acidity and a clean, uncomplicated texture. The finish is intentionally short and snappy, which basically encourages the next sip.

Food Pairings
Grilled shrimp, calamari, white fish, fresh salads, tapas, mild cheeses, or simple Mediterranean appetizers. Equally comfortable as a chilled aperitif on a warm afternoon.

Verdict
A vigorous, uncomplicated Spanish white that knows exactly what it wants to be: fresh, aromatic, herbaceous, and ridiculously easy to drink. A terrific entry-level summer wine with enough personality to keep things interesting.

Did You Know?
Verdejo and Viura are two historic Spanish varieties with very different personalities. Verdejo is particularly celebrated for its aromatic, herbal character, while Viura, also known as Macabeo, typically brings a gentler fruit profile and can soften the overall blend.

🍷 Personal Pick
This is pure summer drinking. I love the aromatic and herbaceous entry, followed by that clean, light mouthfeel and refreshing acidity. And that short finish? Almost dangerous, it disappears just quickly enough to make you immediately reach for another sip. — 8 days ago

Granja Vendrell in Barcelona. Gewurztraminer from northern Italy. Sweet, honey nose, but very little sweetness on the palate. Stone fruits. Honey. Acidity keeps it fresh.

This Gewürztraminer in fact, is proposed with a style less concentrated on the aromatic part in favor of body and taste-olfactory finesse. The wine has a beautiful intense straw yellow color. On the nose, its fruity scents of white peach, citrus notes of lime and lemon, bergamot conquer the nose; also present hints of dried aromatic herbs such as thyme and white sage, decisive herbaceous and vegetable hints, which we then also find on the palate. On the palate, the wine is intense, with good minerality and great finesse, the characteristic of his personality that most represents him. Persistent, it remains on the palate very long, with great pleasure. — 4 years ago

De cor vermelho brilhante e reflexos violáceos. No nariz, intensidade própria de varietais: cereja ácida, morango e cassis se fundem em perfeita união com a baunilha trazida pelo carvalho francês de tostado médio. Na boca, sente-se persistente e elegante, perfeitamente equilibrado, amável, doce e delicado.

Servir entre 16° e 18°.

Vale realmente a pena. — 7 years ago

Lunch at Granja Vendrell w kids. Skin contact blend made from local varietals in Catalunya. Expressive, slightly herbal nose. Tannic and gently acidic. Can taste the amphora in this wine. — 4 years ago

I’m a sucker for Spanish Tempranillo. This wine seems less fruity and simultaneously more tannic than what I normally have. But still delicious. This is my first non Rioja Tempranillo. This is from the Castilla and Leon region. Typical? I’m eager to find out. — 7 years ago
