Pedro Escudero 2007 Fuente Elivra Verdejo (Rueda)

Country: Spain / Fuente Elivra
Variety: Verdejo Northern Spain
Winery: Pedro Escudero / Rueda

A slightly heavier version of Verdejo, especially given 2007’s cool conditions in Rueda. The wine has waxy peach and papaya aromas follwed by apricot, pineapple and mango flavors. It definitely opens on the palate and then finishes with a fleshy texture, additional fruit and even some nuts. Good complexity yet still a forward type of white wine.
