The cooperative from the Designation of Origin Rueda completes a month-long campaign. Its new facilities have been operating at full capacity, processing grapes largely from organic vineyards
La Seca, Valladolid. 29 September 2025 – Bodega Cuatro Rayas has concluded the 2025 harvest, a campaign which, despite challenges, has been characterised by grapes of outstanding quality and optimal health condition. Despite outbreaks of mildew and several summer heatwaves, the cooperative’s production has remained in line with the average harvests of recent years, thanks in part to the contribution of grapes from new members’ vineyards.

The campaign began on 28 August with the Sauvignon Blanc variety and continued for a month, during which winegrowers delivered their Verdejo, Viura, Palomino, and Tempranillo grapes to the winery. The average grape yield was reduced not only by mildew and weather conditions, but also by careful vineyard practices designed to ensure maximum quality and higher organoleptic concentration, allowing the wines to fully express the character of every single variety. As a result, yields have averaged around 25-30% below the limits set by the DO Rueda Regulatory Council, which allows a maximum of 10,000 kilograms. For vineyards used in microvinification and for Verdejo grapes destined for the Gran Vino de Rueda category, yield figures ranged between 2,500 and 3,000 kilograms, compared with the permitted 6,500.
During the campaign, Bodega Cuatro Rayas has unveiled its modern new processing facilities, which complement the technical equipment already in place to optimise the winemaking process and guarantee full grape traceability. Most of the grapes processed at these new facilities come from organically cultivated vineyards.

Complex aromas and great vivacity on the palate
Bodega Cuatro Rayas’ technical director, winemaker Elena M. Oyagüe, emphasised that the 2025 harvest produced moderate yields but grapes of exceptional quality. She anticipates wines with remarkable aromatic complexity, displaying notes of stone fruit, tropical fruit and citrus, the latter bringing a distinctive ‘freshness and vivacity’. On the palate, she foresees wines with ‘excellent texture and balance’, capturing the full potential of this year’s vintage.
