Region
Castilla y Leon contains its own wine regions in the area inland from the Altlantic coast. Containing a variety of climates, its heart is more continental with hot dry summers and long cold winters. The region of Ribero del Duero translates as `the banks of the Duero`, which flows through Portugal`s Port region. Here the vines grow at altitude, with hot summer days and cool nights, perfect for the vine. The result are truly exciting wines of the highest quality. Rueda has risen to prominence with delicate and crisp wines produced from the Verdejo grape, using modern wine making techniques. Toro has altitude which allows the vines to benefit from warm days and cooler nights which produce blockbusting and bold wines.
Producer
