Abstract

White wines have traditionally bearing the appellation of origin Rueda. In 2001 the new regulation on the appellation of origin has authorised the production of red and rose wines. In 2006 Spanish Supreme Court has ruled that only white wines may bear the appellation of origin Rueda, because they are the only ones traditionally produced in the region, and whose characteristics are due to natural and human factors. This judgment constitutes an important step forward to the protection of appellations of origin.
