    Bodegas Pedro Escudero, Spain
    Pedro Escudero carries the torch for what is a long family tradition of growing Verdejo and Viura grapes in Rueda. He has long been known as an authority when it comes to natural winegrowing, and bottling wine under the family name is a relatively new development. Pedro’s relatively new (but classic) winery will greet you on your left as you drive South out of the village of La Seca. Family plantings sit in close proximity to the winery itself, most of which lie within the famously rocky estate they’ve named “Fuente Elvira.” With 65 hectares of Verdejo and 10 hectares of Viura under wine, “Fuente Elvira” is one of the most notorious sites in the entire DO for those seeking crystalline, modern, energy-packed examples of Rueda.

    Captivating and full of character, Verdejo grows with great success in Rueda, Spain and virtually nowhere else in Europe. It has become so trendy in Spain since the turn of the century that plantings have also increased tremendously. Somm Secret—Contrary to what some may think, it is actually not related to the Portugese variety with a very similar name, Verdelho. In fact, DNA profiling suggests it may be a sibling of Godello, another native of NW Spain.

    Rueda is located along the banks of the Duero River in Spain’s Castilla y León region, just a 2-hour drive north of Madrid. While winemaking in this area goes back to the 12th century, it was in the 1980s that the region was granted Denominación de Origen (D.O.) status. Today, more than 70 wineries call Rueda home. This national favorite is the top-selling white wine in Spain.

    Notable facts Rueda’s main grape variety, Verdejo, gets it distinct complexity from stressful growing conditions and mineral-rich soil. Think of Verdejo as a fuller-bodied and more aromatic Sauvignon Blanc. A lush and smooth character with perfectly balanced acidity means Rueda wines pair well with seafood, fresh salads and spicy food, but are also great on their own.
