Verdejo

White wine grape · reported 2016–2025

Further reading: UC Davis Foundation Plant Services

Verdejo is best known from Rueda in Spain, though the atlas carries no confirmed origin record for it. It has no bearing acreage reported to CDFA in California; it enters district crush records in 2016 and has since appeared across 13 crush districts over 10 crop years. It is a crisp, herbaceous white grape. In California it is present only as scattered, small plantings that have not been captured in formal county acreage statistics.

What is published

Counts describe what this atlas holds for Verdejo, not what California grows. A zero is a published answer: it means the source names the grape and reports nothing under it, or does not name it at all.
