Winery: Naia D.O.: Rueda Wine Type: Young white wine Variety: Verdejo Ageing: N/A Alcohol: 13 %
Tasting Note: Naia has a distinctive character that is notable for its aromas of lime, must and kiwi, together with the classic plant-like qualities that are typical of Verdejo. It is beautifully fresh, and presents a long and dry finish that gives way to a concluding balsamic sensation at the back of the mouth. Its originality -though this might seem somewhat contradictory - is based upon remaining completely faithful to the Verdejo variety's attributes.
Located on the left bank of the river Duero, this winery dedicates itself to the production of high quality white wines from their meticulously cared for vineyards, which were planted three decades ago in the district of La Seca, one of the most highly renowned areas of the region.
... />Bodegas Naia work with old Verdejo vines planted according to the traditional gobelet system of training. Eulogio Calleja, an experienced oenologist with extensive knowledge of the region, is the man in charge of operations here.
