White Wine Naiades 2019

This is the new vintage of the wine Naiades, one of the best Verdejo wines from DO Rueda.

Produced by Bodegas Naia, this Spanish white wine is sourced from very old, low-yielding vineyards composed of sandy soils.

All of the vines are over 80 years of age, with some of them being up 130 years old. This oldest vines, incidentally, are prephylloxeric and thus ungrafted. In other words, they are, so to speak, hardwired to the soil.

The grapes were meticulously vinified and, once in the cellar, they were first underwent a cold-maceration of the whole bunches. After that, they were destemmed and  fermented in light-toasted French oak barrels.

Finally, the wine Naiades 2019 was aged on its lees in those same barrels for 7 months with periodic stirrings.

Aerate this white wine from Rueda some time before drinking.
