The D.O. Rueda is mainly located in the Valladolid province, in the west of Castilla y León, not far from Ribera del Duero. It is especially famous for its aromatic white Verdejo wines, but since 2001, red wines are also authorised in the D.O (even if they are still marginal). This Verdejo, which made Rueda’s fame, has nothing to with the Italian Verdicchio or the Portuguese Verdelho. It seems to exist only in Rueda.
Its wines are very aromatic, fresh and almost naturally mineral. This freshness is linked with the altitude of the vineyard, between 650 and 850 m – this is what is called the Castillan meseta. Beside Verdejo, Rueda also has Macabeo, and more and more Sauvignon blanc, which is easy to mistake for Verdejo in a blind tasting. This D.O is a real commercial success, as it produce crisp, affordable wines that are very much appreciated both in Spain and abroad.

For years, Marivi has tried to make a noble wine with natural residual sugar. 2010 was the first vintage with which she succeeded.
Verdejo (100%)
75 cl.
2022
The estate's masterpiece - hence its name. For us, one of the best verdejos on the market, with a good ageing potential, which is quite rare.
Vetus means forbidden in latin. The vines stand at an altitude of 810 to 930 meters above sea level, in the northernmost zone of Rueda (Segoría). Here the harvest takes place 3 weeks after the rest of the DO. When the bottle is put in the fridge, the butterfly on the label turns blue (when the temperature is less than 8°C). Total production is 35.800 bottles.
Villa Narcisa is made with grapes from an old vineyard where a farm accommodating the harvesters used to stand. It was surrounded by narcissuses, hence its name.
1998
The DO Rueda and José Pariente owe much of their notoriety to the Verdejo grape. Yet, Sauvignon is also very important for the region. At José Pariente's, 2007 was the first vintage of this very successful project. José died just before the wine received its name. This cuvée represents 10% of the total production of the bodega.
This is the entry level wine of the estate - but also its flagship wine! The Dos Victorias owe it their fame. José Pariente was Marivi's father, who looked after the old vines of the estate for all his life.
Garnacha, Tempranillo, Viognier
2021 was the first vintage of this wine made by one of Rueda's top estates. This Victoria cuvée is Ignacio's and Martina's tribute to their mother Victoria Pariente, who founded this bodega. This wine is made with organic grapes of two red varietals (tempranillo and grenache) and one white varietal, viognier, which is more surprising for a rosé.
150 cl. (Magnum)
This single vineyard cuvée from the Las Comas winery, an innovative estate focusing on terroir wines, is only made in exceptional years. The 2.4 hectare vine was planted in 1910. Total production is only 2,870 bottles.
The top wine of this estate, and a very complex cuvée. Most of the wine experts think that verdejo is not particularly apt for barrel fermentation. But this FEB gained by it in structure without losing anything in liveliness. It is Marivi's tribute to her father who took care of these vines all his life.
Verdejo (85%), Viura (15%)
Rey Santo is the entry level wien at Javier Sanz Viticultor. Like most of the basic wines in the region, it is a blend of Verdejo and Macabeu Viura). Since 2010, the estate has also been producing a Rey Santo Dulce.
Rey Santo Semidulce was made in 2010 for the first time.
