    Made from 100% Verdejo grapes from Marques de Riscal`s own Rueda vineyards where they have been applying organic viticulture methods since 2010. These vines are over 30 years’ old and are planted in the typical high, gravelly-soil terraces close to the River Duero. 

    Region

    The Rueda DO is located in 3 provinces of Castilla y León. Valladolid, Segovia and Avila. It occupies more than 72 municipalities, of which the best-known are. Serrada, Rueda and La Seca. In 1980, it was considered a denomination of origin (the first one in Castilla y León), thanks to its native grape, Verdejo, a fundamental strain for its white wines that has allowed it to be recognized internationally. With over 8,000 hectares of vineyards, the denominacion has 52 wineries and 1,400 grape growers. Its gravelly soil and continental climate are very favorable for the production of quality white wine. Winters are long and cold, the weather is windy and very rainy. White grapes used are mainly the native one, Verdejo, as well as Viura, Sauvignon Blanc and Palomino Fino.

    Producer

    The origins of the go back to 1858, when the Marques de Riscal, who was resident in Bordeaux, was asked to hire a French winemaker to help the locals improve their winemaking techniques, four years later in 1862 they produced the first ever Rioja wine to be bottled. In 1895 Marques de Riscal was the first non- French wine to win the diploma of honour in the Bordeaux Exhibition. Today the company owns nearly 600 hectares of vines, across La Rioja, Rueda and Castilla y Leon regions. Since 2006 Riscal inaugurated “The City of Wine” including a state-of-the-art winery and a hotel designed by the famous architect Frank O. Gehry.
