Pedro Escudero 2005 Fuente Elvira – Fermentado en Barrica Verdejo (Rueda)

Country: Spain / Fuente Elvira – Fermentado en Barrica
Variety: Verdejo Northern Spain
Winery: Pedro Escudero / Rueda

It’s hard to rate an aging, oxidizing, barrel-fermented Verdejo and take into consideration the wine’s faded qualities versus its complexities. If you like dried apricots, dehydrated mango slices and fruit jellies, then this will tickle your fancy. Adherents to the school that believes whites should be fresh and palate cleansing should take a pass.
