Bodegas Pedro Escudero

The Bodegas Pedro Escudero are located in the heart of the Rueda region on a high plateau in La Seca. There, wide fields with barren pebble soils shape the landscape and the aroma of the grapes. The vines defy hot days and very cool nights to achieve a perfect balance of fruit. We offer you these wines as an expression of hard work and a deep love of nature. The family draws on the knowledge of four generations to mature their special wines in the cellar.

The vineyards of the Pedro Escudero family

The terroir in La Seca stores the sun’s heat in the stones deep into the night. This warmth promotes the ripening of the berries and ensures a dense structure in the finished wine. The roots penetrate deep into the soil through the gravel and absorb valuable minerals that shape the flavor. A cool wind brushes over the vines and thus preserves the natural freshness of the fruit until harvest. We value this vitality in every bottle from this traditional estate in Spain.

Special features at Pedro Escudero

The grapes are harvested in the cool of the night, thus protecting the delicate aromas from the heat. In the cellar, the team uses modern technology for very gentle processing of the precious harvest from their own vineyards. Fermentation takes place in steel tanks or wooden barrels, providing great diversity in the range. Extended aging on the lees gives the wines a fine creaminess and a smooth texture on the palate. We select these products for you because of their high quality and clear style.

The winemaking process follows these steps:

1. Care of the old vines in the vineyard.

2. Harvesting the fruit at cool temperatures.

3. Gentle pressing for a clear must.

4. Fermentation under constant temperature control.

5. Maturation time for optimal development of the aromas.

The grape varieties at Pedro Escudero

The Verdejo variety forms the basis of their success and shows notes of herbs and fresh fruit. This grape delivers wines with a powerful body and a hint of bitter almond on the finish. The Sauvignon Blanc variety also grows on the stony soils and brings aromas of tropical fruits into the glass. The combination of soil and climate makes these wines a true experience for connoisseurs of fine white wines. We present this diversity to you as the ideal companion for discerning moments of enjoyment.
