White wine grape · Vitis vinifera
A white wine grape from Spain, probably Castilla y León, with a parentage reported from genetic analysis in Montpellier.
Plantgrape describes Verdejo as originally from Spain, probably Castilla y León, and reports genetic analyses suggesting a Savagnin × Castellana blanca cross. UC Davis FPS independently lists Spain as its country of origin and Verdejo blanco as a synonym.
Plantgrape says Verdejo grows well under dry climates, is sensitive to wind, and is susceptible to spring frost because of early bud burst. It also notes that excess vigor on very fertile sites may raise coulure risk. These are attributed descriptions, not irrigation or site prescriptions.
Plantgrape describes Verdejo as particularly susceptible to esca and more susceptible to powdery mildew, but not very sensitive to downy mildew or grey rot. These are reference observations, not treatment advice.
