Ossian Vinas Viejas Verdejo 2022
95 Points - Guia Penin. Ossian is one of Spainās greatest white wines. Remarkably, it is made from pre-phylloxera vines that are between 100 and 200 years old, and its levels of concentration and complexity have made many a wine lover and critic revise their opinions of Spanish white wines. Having been hand-picked, the tiny, organically farmed grapes are transported to the state-of-the-art winery for fermentation. The wine is then matured in oak vats in the coolness of the old Monastery of El Parral, during which time it gains yet more complexity and a creamy, nutty tone that is the perfect foil to Verdejoās natural freshness. While it drinks brilliantly when young, it has the unique distinction of being a Spanish Verdejo that can age magnificently.

95 Points - Guia Penin (2022 Vintage)
92 Points - Wine Enthusiast (2021 Vintage)
"This light-yellow-colored wine offers a nose of citrus peel and Meyer lemon. It fills the mouth with flavors of yuzu, gooseberry, fennel pollen and sage leaf set into a vein of bracing acidity that washes over the palate."
About the Producer
Founded in 2005, Ossian Vides y Vinos owns 40 hectares of exceptional vineyards in Nieva, the highest point in the Rueda appellation at altitudes between 840 and 930 metres of above sea level. Its most prized asset is its vines which are not only incredibly ancient being between 100 and 200 years old, but a are pre-phylloxera and planted on their own rootstocks. The phylloxera louse devasted most of Europeās vines in the 19th and early 20th centuries, but thanks to having soils comprised largely of sand, Ossianās survived. Organically farmed, the tiny amount of fruit these vines produce is phenomenally concentrated and makes Ossian what it is, one of Spainās greatest white wines.
