Bodega Vega de la Reina has its own vineyard in Valdestillas in the province of Valladolid, on the banks of the rivers Douro and Adaja. The property covers more than 100 hectares, at an average altitude of 740m above sea level, with a continental climate. The soil, of alluvial origin with a markedly sandy and stony texture at the surface, is very appropriate for vine cultivation, particularly the Verdejo variety, native to the Rueda district.
