Rueda Wine Route

Medina del Campo

Valladolid
Medina del Campo

This route extends along the bank of the Duero River, through the province of Valladolid, bordering the provinces of Segovia and Ávila. The climate and the peculiarities of the soil make this area the perfect place for cultivating the Verdejo grape. Its wines have qualities that are difficult to imitate, and they are closely tied to gastronomy, which plays a central role in the region.

What are the wines like?

In 1980, the Rueda D.O. became the first Designation of Origin in Castile and Leon, and since then its white wines have become internationally famous. The wines produced have traditionally been young wines, characterised by their distinctive 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; you will also encounter red and rosé wines.
