Rueda are giving one lucky subscriber the chance to win a case of Spain’s most popular white wine to enjoy this Christmas, with six bottles of the Spanish region Rueda’s finest wine showcasing the Verdejo grape varietal.
The winner’s case of wine from Rueda includes two bottles of Badajo from Bodega Gotica, a Verdejo blended with a touch of Viura to make an alluring and intense wine of ripe tropical fruit, and two bottles of Protos Verdejo 2021, a 100% Verdejo wine from 15-year-old vines with aromas of tropical and citrus fruit followed by apple and herbs. Finally, the case from Rueda has two bottles of Marqués de Cáceres Verdejo, an aromatic wine with fresh and balanced fruit flavours and a hint of grapefruit in the background that lingers nicely on the finish.
Rueda is a wine-producing region in Castilla y Léon in the north of Spain, which is home to a rare indigenous white grape called Verdejo - a grape that has mutated over hundreds of years to thrive in these sandy vineyards producing full-bodied and highly aromatic white wines of great richness, as well as younger vines that make crisp, clean and refreshing, bright and fruit-forward wines. All great with food, versatility is a key strength of Rueda’s Verdejo wines and some of these elegant and sophisticated wines are perfect partners for even the most complex dishes, making them ideal wines to have on hand over the holiday season.
