Background

Ossian 2020 is the representation of a small group of plots of Verdejo grapes that are home to centuries of winemaking tradition in the area around Nieva. Vines up to 200 years old that bear witness to the uniqueness of its varietal richness, its traditional local work and an almost extinct reality. Ossian is a historical and primitive legacy. The 2020 vintage maintains the elegance and freshness of a unique pre-phylloxera Verdejo. A landscape that has preserved the historical reality of the Segovian verdejo for hundreds of years. Genetic diversity hidden in each vineyard. Surprising delicacy. Length on a rested finish with which the authentic character of the Nieva environment appears once again.

Tasting notes

With juicy-ripe pear fruitiness reminiscent of white Burgundy, this wine stands out with its unique green fennel herbal notes. A finely-applied touch of top-quality oak enhances its distinct character, while the concentration from ancient vines offers splendid persistence of flavors now and promises further development in the bottle for years to come.

Winemaking

Hand-harvested at optimal ripeness. 'Terroir' wines, utmost respect for raw material and origin. Tailored winemaking for each plot. Fermented in oak and stainless steel with native yeast. Meticulous detail for quality. Low pH, oak integration allows gradual bottle aging. A wine for years of harmonious evolution

Food pairings

Pairs well with seafood paella, Spanish omelette, and pasts sauces.
