2011 Rueda 100% Verdejo Old Vines

Bodegas Ordonez S.L. Nisia is an exquisite expression of 100% Verdejo sourced from old vines in the renowned Rueda region. This full-bodied red wine captivates the senses with its vibrant color and rich aromas. On the palate, it showcases a delightful interplay of fruitiness, with prominent notes of ripe stone fruit complemented by an underlying earthy character. The acidity is bright and lively, adding a refreshing quality that balances beautifully with the wine’s structure. Tannins present themselves in a firm yet smooth manner, providing a solid backbone without overwhelming the fruit. This wine is dry, making it exceptionally food-friendly, whether paired with grilled meats or hearty vegetarian dishes. Aged with care, the 2011 vintage of Bodegas Ordonez S.L. Nisia stands out as a testament to the potential of Verdejo, offering a well-rounded experience that is both complex and inviting.

While its reputation as a serious wine destination was eclipsed by France and Italy for many years, ignoring Spain today means missing out on some of the world's most exciting wines. Enjoying hundreds of miles of sun-kissed coastline and rocky interiors at higher elevations, Spain provides an ideal location for vineyards. Whether it is sparkling cavas from Catalonia, crisp Verdejos from Rueda, sublime Tempranillos from Ribera del Duero or inky Monastrells from Valencia, Spain has many wine styles to explore, all expressing the country's wildly unique terroir.
