Description / History

Bodegas Yllera was founded in 1970 in Rueda. Siblings Jesus and Pépe Yllera were fifth generation winemakers at the time. It was the Verdejo grape that was ifocus to begin with, as they were attracted to the potential of the Verdejo grape in the region. They began collaborating with renowned wine expert Ramón Martinez from the Rioja region (who’s son is the current winemaker). Since then, Bodegas Yllera have expanded owning vineyards in several regions and producing wines under several labels.

The vineyards are spread across several regions in the North and North-Western part of Spain. D.O Toro, D.O Rueda, D.O Ribera del Duero and D.O Rioja. Additionally the family works with local farmers as well to ensure the right quality and quantity for their wine production.

Coelus Collection

Boada Collection
