Rueda, Spain’s favourite white wine.
Rueda’s wines are versatile, food-friendly and consistently delicious. They are ideal for parties, family meetings and quiet evenings at home. You’ll be surprised at their great value for money.
Verdejo – the indigenous variety of Rueda – is Rueda’s signature grape; renowned for its zesty acidity and minerality. Given this, Rueda wines pair well with a huge variety of foods including: turkey, goose, duck, chicken, sausages, bread sauce, carrots, parsnips, brussel sprouts, roast potatoes and most other traditional festive dishes.
Rueda wines are easy on the purse, easy-drinking, and perfect for sharing. Look for Rueda on the label.
