About this product
The history of wine is full of intriguing stories . One such is Verdejo . Over the centuries , it had become the signature white grape of Rueda . At one point during the Franco years ( 1936 - 1975 ), Rueda growers were forced to remove their Verdejo and replace it with more commercially viable Chardonnay . One grower refused . Angel Rodriguez ' s vines were , in some cases , over 200 years old , so , at the risk of his life , he said no . Because of his insubordination we have Verdejo in Rueda today . All other cuttings of the vine in Rueda , and the rest of the world , come from his holdings . This lively , floral , fresh and fruity version from Sitios de Bodega is a fine example . Enjoy with mildly spiced seafood dishes .
