Rueda, Spain
white peach, bright, toast
This winery is a homage to its superb old Verdejo vines, which are planted using the traditional gobelet system. Situated on the left bank of the river Duero, the winery dedicates itself to the creation of truly great white wines, showing the greatest respect for its vineyards, planted nearly three decades ago near La Seca, an area considered to play host to some of the best vineyards in the region.
Eulogio Calleja, a highly experienced oenologist with an intimate knowledge of the viticultural potential of this region, is in charge of Bodegas Naia’s range of wines.
Tasting notes
The aroma is light offering fresh herbs floral notes. On the palate there are notes of grapefruit, white peaches, green grass and lime. Showcases a crisp, clean finish. A modern white, which shows depth and focus, with firm acidity
The wonderful Verdejo grape itself is reason enough for the existence of the Rueda DO. It is a somewhat rustic grape that has successfully acclimatized to the tough conditions found on the Castillian plateau. Verdejo typically produces wines of a greenish yellow, aromas of fruit such as pear, apple and grapefruit, bitter almond, aniseed and wild flowers.
