A top Spanish white wine 🇪🇸 with a French “Nominator” - it is a European love affair! 🥂

Campo Eliseo Rueda Verdejo 2018 - La Seca, Rueda ESP
“Nominator” - Xavier-Luc Linglin
The cultivar is “Verdejo” (not be confused with Verdehlo) and the owner of Campo Eliseo is Domaines Lurton from Bordeaux. The big guy - Francois Lurton himself - was even on site the day we filmed at the historic wine making facilty in the rustic village of La Seca. This wine is from the D.O. Rueda (recognised as the first appellation of origin in the autonomous region of Castilla y León)
This wine-making area is situated in the highest part of the northern meseta, right in the heart of the Duero high plateau. Our drone showcases this unique region and buzzes (very close actually!) to Oenologist, German Nieto Teio
Our camera details the smooth pebble clad alluvial, iron-rich soil, featuring very good drainage. Add in a continental climate with cold winters and hot summers, and these characteristics are ideal for growing native white varieties like Viura, Sauvignon Blanc and, in particular, the Verdejo variety.
