Description
Spain: Duero Basin
Rich & Rounded White
Dry - Medium-Full Body - Oaked
Vegan - ABV 13.5% - 75.0cl
In a Nutshell:
A lush, complex Verdejo with ripe stone fruits, zesty citrus, and a creamy, nutty finish gently accented by oak.
The Lowdown:
A true showcase of the Verdejo grape, this wine rivals Spain's finest whites with its rich, complex character. While Rueda is often associated with lighter, easy-drinking wines, this is a full-bodied expression crafted from pre-phylloxera bush vines in the renowned La Seca cru vineyard. Handpicked grapes are fermented in oak and aged on lees for seven months in 500L French oak barrels. The result is a wine with intense aromas of ripe melon, pear, and candied stone fruit, complemented by sweet spice and dried fruit. A creamy texture and integrated oak meet zesty kiwi and grapefruit acidity, finishing long with a refreshing, subtle bitterness.
The Producer:
Bodegas Naia, in the heart of Duero valley's Rueda region, is a champion of the Verdejo grape. Founded in 2002, their focus on old vines, some exceeding a century in age, has yielded wines of remarkable depth and complexity. The vineyards, a patchwork of bush vines and meticulously tended trellises, are a testament to the delicate balance between tradition and innovation. And with a commendable attachment to sustainable practices and minimal intervention their wines express Rueda's unique terroir and really capture the rugged nature of their patch of remote central Spain.
When to Drink:
Perfect with seafood paella or grilled turbot, its lush fruit and subtle oak beautifully complement saffron's warmth and the fish's buttery flavours.
