Rueda is a region in the North West of Spain. It’s continental climate and high altitude vineyards makes it ideal for refreshing white wines, with zingy high acidity.

Verdejo is the prominent grape variety, but can also be blended with Sauvignon Blanc and Viura.



Verdejo wines can be enjoyed young and unoaked, with herby, citrus characters; but can age well, with some oak or lees for added complexity.

The region also produces red and rosé wines.
