Founded in 1885, Bodegas Vicente Gandía is considered the biggest Comunidad Valenciana winery. Their goal is creating strong character wines, linked to the land where they are born. With this Fustanova Verdejo, Bodegas Vicente García offers a particular Valencia’s version of the usually colder Verdejo grape, better adapted to Rueda D.O. territory. The result is a fresh, light and easy to drink white. An ideal option for those long summer nights.
