Comments

Quadrum White is a blend of 70% Verdejo and 30% Sauvignon Blanc. The region of La Mancha offers ideal growing conditions with a hot and dry climate, sandy soils, and high elevation. Verdejo is Spain's most important indigenous aromatic white varietal. With slightly different harvest times, these two acidic, fresh, aromatic white varietals blend together to offer a balanced elegant white wine.
