The remarkable story behind Bodega de Bardos

The vineyards are located in the heart of the Rueda region. Here, the stony soils and extreme climate ensure optimal grape quality. Instead of establishing itself in the prestigious Golden Mile, the winery deliberately chose the coldest and highest-situated area of ​​the denomination. The large difference between day and night temperatures contributes to the complexity of the wine. These challenging conditions require perseverance from the winemakers, but result in wines with a unique character.

A winery with social impact

The Bardos Project is a special initiative in collaboration with Fademur, the Federation of Rural Women's Associations. The project focuses on supporting female entrepreneurship in rural areas and combating depopulation. Every year, Bodega de Bardos funds a new project that stimulates innovation, creates jobs, and breathes new life into traditional practices. The goal is to provide financial support to women dedicated to the preservation of rural communities. These women therefore play a crucial role in maintaining the rich heritage and culture of the villages in the region.

The grapes and the vinification

The vines of this Bodega de Bardos Rueda Verdejo are between 20 and 25 years old, the ideal age for producing quality wines. The manual harvest takes place in mid-September, when the grapes have reached their perfect ripeness. After careful vinification, the wine rests on the lees for another two months, which contributes to the wine's complexity and roundness. It is a wine that reflects not only the terroir of Rueda but also the craftsmanship and passion of the people who make it.
