Rueda is part of the Castilla-y-Leon region, northwest of Madrid and south of the Duero river. It was pretty much wiped out by Phylloxera in the first part of the 20th century, and became mostly bulk wine producing until bodegas from neighboring regions took interest to replant grapes since the region’s mild climate is so conducive. 
 
Verdejo is the main grape cultivated. This makes dry, fruity, and refreshing wines that are affordable, crowd-pleasing and excellent for parties. Small amounts of Macabeo (Viura) and Sauvignon Blanc are sometimes added as blending components. Some Sauv Blanc produced as a varietal release is also gaining popularity. Very little red from Tempranillo is also produced here.

A bright, pale-green and yellow hue, aromas of green citrus, wet hay, diesel and minerals; bright, tart acid driven notes of asparagus, kiwi and wet stone thru a long, focused finish. Worth every penny when paired with a picnic or white fish.

Bright, fresh, crisp, and summer-y! Had this wine on a "sundowner" cruise on the lake-- great with some shrimp cocktail, clams, etc. This is the epitome of a classic summer white wine.

Very sweet with a buttery and creamy body. A hint of vanilla and almond on the finish. I really enjoyed this glass and would definitely buy a bottle in the future.

Quick follow-up, this verdejo tasted great on a Summer afternoon with ripe Calif. nectarines (piece of nectarine, sip of wine, repeat). Also mixed cold spring water with the wine 33-66% and 50-50% and liked that, too. Verdejo comes from NW Spain, not t...

Vino comprado en Peñafiel para la comida del 15. Costó abrirlo pero la verdad es que salió delicioso y gustó mucho a todos, no quedó ni una gota. Típico vedejo pero de la casa Protos, vino bueno de verdad.

Killer Spanish white, not over-the-top sweet. Tart in all the right places, a splash of honeydew dancing with citrus with a touch of vanilla. Lovely, gradually fading finish.
