Las Brisas, Spain
Javier Alen, a well respected Galician producer of white wine (Viña Mein), Victor Rodriguez, the former director of the highly acclaimed magazine Vino y Gastronomia, and Eulogio Calleja, one of the most respected winemakers in the region of Rueda, are the owners of this winery. Their goal is to produce a light to medium bodied, crisp and fruity white wine which is the finest expression of the varietal Verdejo, and the terroir of village of La Seca. The winery, Viña Sila, is located in the denomination of origin of Rueda, on the southern bank of the Duero River. It is the only D.O. in the Castilian region with an historical tradition of making great white wines.

With hundreds of white grape varieties to choose from, winemakers have the freedom to create a virtually endless assortment of blended white wines. In many European regions, strict laws are in place determining the set of varieties that may be used in white wine blends, but in the New World, experimentation is permitted and encouraged. Blending can be utilized to enhance balance or create complexity, lending different layers of flavors and aromas. For example, a variety that creates a soft and full-bodied white wine blend, like Chardonnay, would do well combined with one that is more fragrant and naturally high in acidity. Sometimes small amounts of a particular variety are added to boost color or aromatics. Blending can take place before or after fermentation, with the latter, more popular option giving more control to the winemaker over the final qualities of the wine.

Rueda is located along the banks of the Duero River in Spain’s Castilla y León region, just a 2-hour drive north of Madrid. While winemaking in this area goes back to the 12th century, it was in the 1980s that the region was granted Denominación de Origen (D.O.) status. Today, more than 70 wineries call Rueda home. This national favorite is the top-selling white wine in Spain.

Notable facts Rueda’s main grape variety, Verdejo, gets it distinct complexity from stressful growing conditions and mineral-rich soil. Think of Verdejo as a fuller-bodied and more aromatic Sauvignon Blanc. A lush and smooth character with perfectly balanced acidity means Rueda wines pair well with seafood, fresh salads and spicy food, but are also great on their own.
