It’s World Verdejo Day!

It’s that special time of year for people who enjoy this acidic/fresh Spanish white wine with that unique combination of fresh stone fruit, fennel notes and a herby finish.  

One of my favourite producers is José Pariente. From their entry level wines to their older oak influenced versions they know there way around Verdejo.

My interview is with their energetic CEO Ignacio Prieto Pariente.

We discuss the history/philosophy of José Pariente, the early days when he and his winemaking sister Martina took over the family business back in 2012 and pushing the quality levels of the Verdejo grape.
