Bodegas Vetus located a handful of micro plots in the Segovia area, at an altitude of between 810 and 930 metres above sea level, with very sandy soils and planted with old Verdejo vines. From these, the best fruits were manually selected to make  Flor de Vetus Verdejo 2022. Once in the winery, after destemming and crushing, fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks.


Made up of three other prominent wineries, Izadi y Orben (DOCa. Rioja) and Finca Villacreces (DO Ribera del Duero), the  Artevino Group is also the owner of Vetus, one of the most interesting firms in the DO Toro (its facilities are located in the Zamora area of ​​Villabuena del Puente), although it produces the  Flor de Vetus Verdejo 2022 white wine that we bring you under the auspices of the  DO Rueda. Both this single-varietal white wine and the rest of the house's wines are the result of an extremely careful production process, from the field to the glass.

D.O Rueda

Rueda is a Spanish Denominación de Origen Protegida (DOP) for wines located in the Community of Castile and León. It comprises 72 municipalities, of which 53 are in the province of Valladolid, 17 are in the north of the province of Segovia, and 2 are in the north of the province of Ávila.It is one of Spain's leading wine regions, and is known primarily for its white wines based on the Verdejo grape. 

The first documentary evidence of wine production in this area dates from the 11th century, when King Alfonso VI offered title to lands to settlers in the recently reconquered area. Many individuals and monastic orders accepted the offer and founded monasteries with their own vineyards.

During the 18th century the land planted to vines was greater in extent than it is now and was exclusively under the Verdejo grape variety. The wines produced enjoyed great commercial success in part due to the clarification process used which involved the use of local clay.

In the years between 1890 and 1922 the phylloxera louse destroyed over two thirds of the vines, which were replanted by grafting onto louse resistant New World rootstock. However, the new varieties were selected according to productivity criteria rather than quality ones and for many years the wine produced was sold in bulk.
