Shaya Verdejo

Shaya · Ribera del Duero · Spain

Shaya Verdejo is an white wine from Spain, in the Ribera del Duero region (North-central Spain, along the Duero river in the province of Burgundy, over 800m above sea level.), made principally from Verdejo. The modern Rueda benchmark — a fresh, herbal Verdejo that became one of Spain's most imitated whites.

In character, this value tier delivers the classic verdejo profile — citrus, green apple, fresh herbs — with the structural stamp of Ribera del Duero and a medium-bodied presence. This profile reflects published sources, winery information and regional reference material, researched editorially rather than tasted blind.
