Nisia Las Suertes Verdejo 2024

Profile & Story

Nisia is Bodegas Vatan's flagship old-vines Verdejo project, led by Jorge Ordonez. Las Suertes comes from Los Majuelos de Carranabas 'Las Suertes' in Codorniz, Segovia (DO Rueda) - ungrafted vines documented from 1900 but likely planted in the late 1880s, on phylloxera-resistant sandy soils. Grapes are hand-sorted and destemmed, pressed pneumatically, cold-settled 24-48 hours at 6-10C, then fermented in 500-600L French oak barrels with pied de cuve over 6-10 days, followed by lees aging with battonage for a minimum of seven months.
