Rueda Verdejo La Suertes Old Vines

Description :

Location: Santiuste de San Juan Bautista. This town is located in the province of Segovia, in the southeasternmost subzone of D.O. Rueda, which is the highest altitude zone and resisted phylloxera.
Vineyard: Finca las Suertes
Viticulture: Traditional dry farmed viticulture. Organic goblet trained vines (vaso system). Cultivated completely by hand. All of the vines used for Nisia are ungrafted, as this part of D.O Rueda is phylloxera resistant, due to the extremely sandy soils.
Winemaking: Rigorous sorting at the winery is followed by a 24 hour cold soak. Destemmed and whole cluster bunches are pressed in a pneumatic press. The wine ferments in 500L & 600L puncheons and demi-muids that are new, second, and third use.
Aging: 12 months sur lie in French oak puncheons and demi-muids (500-600 L barrels, respectively) with battonage. Cold stabilized and lightly filtered.
