Duero & León groups Ribera del Duero, Rueda, Toro and Bierzo, four separate Spanish wine names with different grapes and rules. Ribera del Duero is an appellation where Tempranillo may be called Tinto Fino or Tinto del País. Rueda is a protected geographical name, and Verdejo is its principal white grape. Toro centres on Tinta de Toro, its native red variety, while Mencía is Bierzo's main red grape.

The labels offer useful distinctions. Rueda Verdejo requires at least 85% Verdejo, while a wine labelled simply Rueda may contain 50%. Toro makes reds from Tinta de Toro or Garnacha Tinta, as well as whites. Bierzo permits Mencía, Garnacha Tintorera, Godello, Doña Blanca and Palomino.

  2. 02Ribera del Duero53 producersRibera del Duero puts Tempranillo on a high plateau, so hot days build dark fruit while cold nights keep the tannin firm and fresh.
  3. 03Rueda6 producersRueda is the Verdejo counterpoint to Castilla's reds, giving crisp, herbal whites from high, dry plains.
  4. 04Toro11 producersToro pushes Tempranillo toward power, with old vines and heat giving dense colour, alcohol and grip.
