Great value Rueda wine
In partnership with DO Rueda
Perfect to enjoy in the sunshine, try one of these refreshing Ruedas....
DO Rueda is the only white wine denomination in Castilla y León, producing refreshing wines predominantly from Verdejo.
Verdejo typically has aromas of citrus fruits, flowers, herbs and some vegetative notes.
Whilst smaller producers are doing exciting things at more premium prices, there’s still some great value to be found.
Some of our expert tasters have picked top value Rueda wines, all under £20. See them below.
This online article was created in association with DO Rueda. However, the wines featured below were tasted independently of this partnership and first appeared in Decanter magazine.

Rueda is known for its freshness, and this doesn't disappoint. Aromas of gooseberry and dried herbs lead into a fairly intense palate showing citrus fruit and herbs, with a tangerine and citrus pith finish. The refreshing acidity keeps it on its toes and makes you want to head back for another sip.
