Situated in the town of Rueda , near Tordesillas. The Velasco family, with a long tradition of growing and making wine in these vineyards and terroirs going back several generations, have played an important role in the development of the area. A
total area of 32 hectares of our own vineyards split between
24 of Verdejo grapes, the indigenous variety of the area, and
8 of Sauvignon Blanc. Lots of rounded stones on the surface
and gritty soil, with a small amount of organic matter, good

Rueda has been one of the most outstanding centres for vine
growing since the 18th century. Bodegas Aura bears good witness
to this tradition by expressing the autochthonous variety of
the region in its Aura Verdejo wine.
