Rufete Blanco is a white grape varietal predominantly found in the Spanish region of Sierra de Salamanca. This varietal is known for producing wines with a unique aromatic profile, typically featuring notes of green apple, citrus, and various floral elements.
Its natural high acidity gives the wine freshness and potential for aging. Rufete Blanco wines are often characterized by their light body and delicate, subtle flavors.
The varietal, which is relatively rare, tends to thrive in cooler, higher-altitude vineyards and is predominantly harvested by hand due to the steepness of the terrain. Wine made from Rufete Blanco grapes is commonly vinified alone, although it is occasionally blended with other regional varietals.
