{"title":"Ribera y Rueda","description":"\u003cp\u003eRibera del Duero and Rueda are located in Castilla y León, about a 2-hour drive northwest of Madrid. Castilla y León is home to more than 300 medieval castles dating to the eighth and ninth centuries, boasts over 400 museums and over a hundred historical city centers which accounts for the majority of Spain’s cultural heritage. The Duero River runs through these two prestigious wine regions - Ribera to the North and Rueda to the South.  Winemaking dates back 2,000+ years and both regions have been producing wines for travelers since ancient times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVerdejo makes for young, fresh everyday wines, and when given the lees and barrel aged treatment, there is also great opportunity for cellaring.  Verdejo showcases bright acidity, richness, complexity, and minerality.
