Explore Spain’s Castilla y León region, where dramatic climate and elevation shape world-class wines like Ribera del Duero, Rueda, and Toro—home to powerful Tempranillos and bold regional character.
The region of Castilla y León in Spain occupies one-fifth of the mainland and is home to some of the country’s top wine growing areas such as Ribera del Duero, Rueda and Toro. The Duero River Valley is a high-elevation, high-quality wine production area that experiences extreme seasonal temperature variations. In fact, an old Castilian saying states that the year is comprised of nine months of winter and three months of hell. Yet Tempranillo thrives within this hostile climate—and it produces some of Spain’s most esteemed reds.
