Reuda, Spain's Epic White Wine Region
Our journey through Madrid, Segovia, Valladolid, and Rueda
Madrid had an overabundance of friendly people, delectable restaurants, hotels with rooftop bars, world-class museums, and
historical sites. On the way to the Rueda wine region, we had to stop in the historic city of Segovia. This city and its aqueduct were
registered as World Heritage sites in 1985. The aqueduct dates to 1008.
Rueda is one of Spain’s only designated white wine regions. Today the region produces more than 41% of Spain’s white wine
production. The primary grape Verdejo is native to the area. Sauvignon is second in popularity. Other white grapes include Viura,
Palomino Fino, Viognier, and Chardonnay. Visiting during Harvest was an extra exceptional experience. Many cities and towns were
in celebration mode for the first time since Covid impacted gatherings. People were excited to be enjoying life to the fullest.
We also visited Denver's newest French restaurant, Chez Maggy.
