The region, which has been famous for its white wines for centuries, was initially classified as a DO exclusively for white wines as early as 1980. The calcareous soils and the location of the vineyards at 600 to 800 metres above sea level predestine the area for the production of fresh, lively, juicy, fruity white wines that are more reminiscent of wines from more northern climates.

The main variety here is Verdejo, which must be present in white Rueda at a minimum of 50% without specifying the variety (if the variety is specified on the label, it must be 85%), plus Viura, Palomino and increasingly Sauvignon Blanc, which may now also be specified on the label and bottled as a single variety.

Today, there are roughly three styles of white Rueda : the uncomplicated, fresh-fruited, everyday wine to be consumed as young as possible, the tart, firmer, clearly more mineral variant and the more powerful and melting barrique wine, which comes onto the market later and ideally benefits from maturity.

Since the early 1990s, there has also been a classified sparkling wine under the name Rueda Espumosa. Finally, in 2004, the DO was also opened up to rosé and red wines from the Tempranillo variety, all of which, however, make up only a very small part of the production.

Currently we have tasted almost 50 wines from the DO Rueda, which we present to you here and in PDF present them here. Links to all producers and the detailed tasting notes can be found here. here.
