2023 | Ordonez Nisia 'Las Suertes' Old Vines Verdejo | Rueda Bodegas Las Orcas saline charactersThe 2023 Nisia Las Suertes is 100% Verdejo from very old vines (possibly even the 1880s) and was aged on the lees with btonnage for a minimum of 7 months in French oak puncheons and demi muids. It has more melon ball, hay, crushed stone, and subtly honey nuances that carry to a beautifully textured, layered white with a gorgeous mid palate, integrated acidity, and a great finish. It's a serious wine that's geared for the dinner table. 93 Pts Jeb
