Verdejo/Viura 2009 - Mayor de Castilla, Reuda, Spain

Aromatic, soft and full-bodied. The aromas are somewhat reminiscent of Sauvignon Blanc wines from a warm climate. The wine is zesty, bright and fresh.

Like many other wine regions in Europe, Rueda suffered in the first half of the 20th century. The Spanish civil war and the dictatorship under Franco did nothing to benefit the local wine industry. It wasn’t until Marques de Riscal, the famed Rioja winery, arrived to Rueda in 1971 that the region came back into relevance for wine lovers. The region was revolutionized with the new ideas and technology Marques de Riscal brought, and has become famous for producing delightful, fresh and fruity white wines from the Verdejo grape.
