Bodegas Ordonez Description
Bodegas Ordóñez works with exclusively ungrafted vineyards of Verdejo planted in the southeastern subzone of D.O. Rueda, the only part of the appellation that completely resisted phylloxera due to the sandy quality of the soils. The philosophy of the winery is to produce authentic Verdejo the old-fashioned way, by working with traditional vineyard sites and using old school winemaking techniques.
A wine with exuberant citrus and floral character, refreshing acidity, and complexity from sur lie and barrel ageing.
Jeb Dunnuck: 92 Points
From 17 different parcels across four towns in the province of Segovia, the 2024 Nisia Old Vine Verdejo is grown in sandy soils that are phylloxera-free, low-yielding, in the coolest, highest part of the area. Barrel-fermented, it has a creamy texture and the fruity sweetness of peach and apricot, aged on the lees in French oak puncheons and smaller barrels for five months. A refined texture lingers with a hint of acidity and long finish.
Vinous: 92 Points
The 2024 Nisia Old Vine Verdejo was made from bush-trained vines planted in 1950, fermented in old barrels and was aged on the lees. Yellow in color, it opens with delicate oak, butter, lees, pastry and green apple aromas. The palate is creamy and fresh, with good volume. It leaves behind white fruit flavors and a hint of concentration.
