Rueda Wine Route

Medina del Campo

Valladolid
Medina del Campo

It extends the length and breadth of the left bank of the Duero River in the province of Valladolid, and borders the provinces of Segovia and Avila. The climate and the peculiarities of the soils make this area the perfect place to cultivate the Verdejo grape. Its wines have qualities that are difficult to match, and they have a close association with gastronomy, which is another key attraction of this route.

What are the wines like?

The D.O. Rueda was founded in 1980, becoming the first Designation of Origin in Castile-León, and since then its white wines have become famous all over the world. It has traditionally produced young wines, distinguished by their characteristic greenish yellow colour and their fresh, fruity and elegant bouquet and palate. In recent years, some wineries have started fermentation in barrels, and producing sparkling wines. Also available are white wines made with other varieties such as Sauvignon Blanc, Viura and Palomino Fino; and red and rosé wines.
