The Castile and León (VT) designation in Spain is a wine region of exceptional richness, known for its vast terroir and the diversity of its wines. Located in the northwest of Spain, this appellation covers a wide geographical area, encompassing several renowned wine sub-zones such as Ribera del Duero, Rueda, Toro, and Bierzo. The wines of Castile and León are a reflection of a continental climate, with hot, dry summers and cold winters, contributing to the complexity and concentration of flavours in the grapes.
This region is predominantly recognised for its powerful and well-structured red wines, often made from the Tempranillo grape, locally known as Tinta del País or Tinto Fino. However, the whites are not to be overlooked, particularly due to the Verdejo grape, which produces fresh and aromatic wines, especially in the Rueda area. The region also promotes sustainable viticulture, with a growing number of estates adopting environmentally friendly techniques.
For wine enthusiasts looking to enrich their cellar, Castile and León offers a diverse range of wines capable of satisfying the most discerning palates, combining tradition and modernity in every bottle.
