The D.O. Rueda (Valladolid) is a leading region for Spanish white wines. Its whites are very well received in European and U.S. markets, especially due to their excellent value for money. Here, Verdejo is the star grape, a native variety whose revaluation owes much to the expertise of Antonio Sanz, owner and winemaker of Bodegas Palacio de Bornos. In 1976, Antonio Sanz parted ways with a legacy tied to five generations of winemakers and founded the current Palacio de Bornos winery. Even then, he foresaw the enormous potential of the Rueda region and the characteristics that would later bring universal fame to the Verdejo variety. Today, the winery produces white wines made from this native grape and the French Sauvignon Blanc.
