Description
In a nutshell:
Extraordinary rich, complex and rounded expression of the Verdejo grape from western Spain.
The lowdown:
A wine to rival Spain's top whites and an ultimate expression of the Verdejo grape variety. While the Rueda wine region and its principle variety Verdejo are known for producing lighter, fresher, easy-drinking wines in the main Bodegas Naia have created a wine that is full-bodied, rich and complex from some very old vines. These vines are incredibly pre-phylloxera bush vines that come from the La Seca cru vineyard, regarded as one of the finest in Rueda for over 100 years, with the grapes being handpicked and fermented in oak before spending seven months on its lees in large 500l French oak barrels.
Intense aromas of ripe melon, pears and candied stone fruit with sweet spice and dried fruity notes. The palate is rich, broad and textural with a creamy softness, integrated oaky flavours and with a precise kiwi, grapefruit acidity that runs through the wine and adds structure and balance. The finish is long and complex with a refreshing subtle bitter twist on the finish.
The Producer:
Bodegas Naia, in the heart of Rueda's La Seca region, has emerged as a champion of the Verdejo grape. Founded in 2002, their unwavering focus on old vines, some exceeding a century in age, has yielded wines of remarkable depth and complexity. Their vineyards, a patchwork of bush vines and meticulously tended trellises, are a testament to the delicate balance between tradition and innovation. With a commitment to sustainable practices and minimal intervention in the winery, Bodegas Naia's wines are a pure expression of Rueda's unique terroir and capturing the very essence Rueda wines.
When to drink:
Drink now with baked sea bass, monkfish, or mushroom risotto.
Suitable for Vegans
