The 2021 Ossian was produced with Verdejo grapes from old, organically farmed vines on sand and stony soils around the village of Nieva in the province of Segovia—Aldeanueva del Codonal, Aldehuela del Codonal, Ochando, Melque de Cercos, Nava de la Asunción, Moraleja de Coca and Santiuste de San Juan Bautista—a zone where phylloxera didn’t reach. The plots were vinified separately in 300- to 600-liter oak barrels with indigenous yeasts, and the wines matured there with the lees for around nine months. It’s spicy and has notes of yellow fruit, hay and straw, with moderate alcohol (13.5%); it’s tasty, clean, fresh and balanced. 50,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in July 2022.

Varietal

Verdejo

Verdejo, an esteemed white grape varietal native to Spain, thrives in the sun-drenched vineyards of the Rueda region, where it flourishes in the region's sandy soils and continental climate. Revered for its aromatic intensity and vibrant acidity, Verdejo produces wines of exceptional freshness and elegance. Verdejo wines are characterized by their aromatic bouquet of citrus fruits, tropical notes, and subtle herbal undertones. With a medium body and crisp acidity, they offer a refreshing palate that pairs perfectly with seafood, salads, and light appetizers. As interest in Spanish wines grows, Verdejo has emerged as a shining star, captivating wine enthusiasts with its expressive character and undeniable charm. Its ability to reflect the unique terroir of Rueda makes Verdejo a beloved choice among both novices and connoisseurs alike.

Country

Spain

Ever since the Phoenicians and Romans brought their knowledge of vine cultivation to Spanish soils, the country's culture has grown alongside wine production, with wine being a vital part of Spanish identity and Spanish traditions. Each region of Spain has a wine quite distinct from the others, and it is produced by smallholders and families as much as it is by large companies and established wineries. From the relatively mild and lush regions of La Rioja to the arid plateaus that surround Madrid, grapes are grown in abundance for the now booming Spanish wine industry, and new laws and regulations have recently been put in place to keep the country's standards high. By combining traditional practices with modern technology, Spanish wineries are continuing to produce distinctive wines of great character, flavor and aroma, with the focus shifting in recent decades to quality over quantity.

Region

Castilla Y Leon

The ancient, arid and beautiful region of Castilla y Leon is the largest in Spain, and amongst the largest single 'regions' in any country of Europe. It has been famed throughout the centuries for its architecture, its people, its art and literature, and not least for its characterful and flavorful wines, which capture the beating heart and passion of Spain and Spanish culture. Castilla y Leon is essentially a vast plateau, and is extremely dry, with a poor soil structure which one might think would make viticulture difficult, if not impossible. However, Castilla y Leon has plenty of native grape varietals which are able to stretch their roots deep underground, to tap into the moisture and minerals which can be found there.

A mineral nose with some tangy grilled herbs, fennel, sour cream and green apples. Intense and quintessential on the full-bodied palate with a full body and persistent, creamy finish that goes on and on. Drink now or hold.

The 2021 Ossian is a Verdejo from Nieva, Segovia. Green-gold in color, it shows a reductive character with aromas of white fruit, field herbs, lime, mint and light yeast. The palate is juicy and creamy, with volume and underlying fruit. More delicate barrel use benefits the wine. The fresh vintage supports a more precise style adjustment.

Winery Notes

A barrel fermented, old vines Verdejo made in a style different from what we typically see in this white varietal. It has a remarkable complexity, resulting in the smoothness and depth of a high-end white. Very suitable for cellaring. Golden yellow color with greenish reflections. Complex, toasty aromas of nuts & dried fruit. Large, creamy, spicy, balanced and voluminous.
