What are the wines like?
In 1980, the Rueda DO was the first Designation of Origin in Castilla y León and since then its white wines have become internationally famous. Traditionally, the area has made young wines, distinguished by their unique greenish-yellow colour and their fresh, fruity and elegant aromas and palate. In recent years, some wineries have turned to barrel fermentation and sparkling wines. You can also find white wines made with other varieties such as Sauvignon Blanc, Viura or Palomino Fino; and red and rosé wines.
