Introduction:
A lively and refreshing Verdejo from the historic Rueda region, this wine captures the crisp, herbaceous charm of Spain’s beloved white grape. It combines vibrant fruit, zesty acidity, and mineral finesse for a versatile, easy-going character.
Terroir:
Sourced from vineyards on the high plains of Rueda (600–700 m elevation), where sandy, gravelly soils over chalk support the Verdejo’s signature freshness and moderate alcohol. The continental climate—warm days, cool nights—encourages aromatic nuance and structural balance.
Appearance:
Pale straw with soft green highlights, clear and luminous in the glass.
Nose:
Bright aromas of lime zest, green apple, and juicy pear meld with herbaceous notes of fennel and fresh-cut grass. Delicate floral touches of white blossoms and a hint of chalky minerality enhance complexity.
Palate:
Light-bodied and crisp, the palate delights with flavors of lemon-lime, melon, and tropical hints of guava. Fresh acidity drives the wine forward, while a subtle saline minerality adds tension and depth. A whisper of almond skin and dried herbs lingers mid-palate.
Finish:
Clean and refreshing, with sustained citrus notes, a gentile herbal twist, and a mineral thread that underlines the wine’s bright, crisp character.
Overall Impression:
This 2023 Nisia Verdejo is a quintessential Rueda: zesty, aromatic, and food-friendly. It’s perfect with tapas, seafood, fresh salads, or simply enjoyed on a sunny afternoon. Balanced, approachable, and delightfully quaffable.
