Bodegas Pedro Escudero Valdelagunde Cuvee Especial Verdejo

Winemaker Pedro Escudero on the winery

“We are a family winery based in La Seca, in the heart of Spain’s Rueda wine region. The Escudero family has a long history in viticulture and has been bottling wines under its own name since 2002. Our vineyards lie among pine groves, on clay and sandy soils with plenty of surface stones. We follow traditional, organic principles and believe that Verdejo has everything it needs to produce wines with a distinctive sense of character in this part of Spain.”

And on Rueda, Spain

“Our Cuvée Especial is made from 100% Verdejo grown in a single vineyard in La Seca. We combine several different vinifications of the same grapes: some ferment in stainless steel, while others ferment in wooden vats. We also experiment with different fermentation techniques. By carefully blending these individual wines, we create a Verdejo with greater depth and texture than the classic fresh style. Expect ripe peach and apricot, complemented by subtle spice and a hint of vanilla. Full and rounded, yet retaining plenty of freshness.”
