PRODUCT OVERVIEW:
Rueda, located in the Castilla y León region in northwestern Spain, has all the building blocks to bring forth white wines that deftly balance ripe fruit and bright acidity. Situated on a windswept plateau that is 2000-2500 feet above sea level, Rueda has a continental climate characterized by hot, dry summers with wide diurnal temperature variations and cold winters. The soils are well-drained and rich in minerals.

Bodegas Yllera was founded in 1970 and produces wines from the renowned Ribera del Duero and Rueda appellations. The Yllera family has been crafting wine for six generations and was instrumental in getting these regions the recognition they deserved on the world wine stage. Their reverence for tradition as well as innovation has resulted in top-notch wines that are pure expressions of varietal and terroir.

Today's wine is blended with a touch of chardonnay and sauvignon blanc and is fermented in stainless steel. It offers floral and stone fruit aromatics and a palate with abundant flavors of green apple, peach, Honeydew melon, papaya, and pineapple that unfold on a frame of vibrant acidity that brings the wine to a long finish.
