Old Vine Verdejo, Nisia ‘Las Suertes’

lime │ fennel │ almond

Zippy lime and grapefruit zest meet a creamy mid-palate — like citrus curd on toast. It’s green-tinged and herbal without being grassy, showing fennel and almond on the finish. A Verdejo that feels both racy and serious.

2023 brought warm days but cool nights in Rueda, keeping Verdejo aromatic while preserving acidity. It’s a vintage where the old vines shine, delivering both ripeness and verve.

From 80+ year old vines planted in sandy, stony soils — the kind of vineyards that make Verdejo more profound. Jorge Ordóñez brought Nisia into the spotlight as proof Rueda could go way beyond crisp and simple.

Verdejo thrives in Rueda’s high plateau because the vines sit at 2,600 feet above sea level — a rare elevation in Spain that gives wines snap and longevity.
