A journey through Toro, where each vineyard tells a story of life, origin and authenticity

Toro

The origins of Toro date back to the time before the Roman settlement. Revered by nobles and kings in the Middle Ages, its wines were cherished in royal cellars and shipped across the oceans to the New World.

Over the centuries, Toro’s wines have borne witness to significant historical events, accompanying Christopher Columbus on his voyage to America as the first wines to cross the Atlantic and reach the Americas. Toro wines also found favour among French palates during the devastating phylloxera plague.

Today, Toro is a region with an unbreakable legacy, evolving while remaining rooted in its history. More than just a wine region, Toro is a fusion of history, origin, tradition, and purity, where respect for authenticity combines with a commitment to the future, ensuring that Toro's heritage continues. Here, true craftsmanship and time-honoured practices preserve a legacy for generations to come.

Rueda: A land of contrasts and the cradle of great white wines

Rueda

Rueda, a territory where history meets innovation, stands as the oldest Designation of Origin in Castilla y León. Winemaking here dates back to the Middle Ages; since then, its vineyards have been both protected and celebrated for producing bold, authentic wines.

The Verdejo grape, Rueda's most representative variety, has flourished in this region for over ten centuries. Introduced by the Mozarabs as they repopulated the Duero River basin, Verdejo remains the most prized grape in the appellation today.

Today, Rueda –an expansive land of contrasts and birthplace of renowned wines– has cemented its place as a pioneer in the protection of its vineyards and wines, deeply aware of their potential. The essence of its soils and the authentic character of its people are reflected in its wines, which skillfully balance tradition with a modern spirit.
