DO RUEDA

The Denomination of Origin Rueda was approved by the Ministry of Agriculture on January 12, 1980; it was the first Denomination of Origin to be approved in the Region of Castilla y León, after years of hard work in order to earn acknowledgement and protection for its autochthonous grape variety: the Verdejo.

The Denomination of Origin Rueda possesses exceptional natural resources for the production of top-quality wines. Specialised in making internationally renowned white wines.

The production area included in the Denomination of Origin Rueda is located in the Region of Castilla y León and consists of 72 towns and villages, 53 of which are located south of the province of Valladolid, 17 to the west of Segovia and 2 north of Ávila.
