Shaya Verdejo

Verdejo

Rueda, Spain

Bodegas Shaya’s winery and vineyards are located in the most southwestern part of the appellation in the province of Segovia. The grapes for the wines come from 30.5 hectares of very old Verdejo vines, with low yields (2.5/ha). The vines are planted in sandy soils in vaso system, which makes it possible for many of them to be un-grafted. The vineyards have a surface layer of small-sized river gravel and a deeper layer that consists of clay.

20% of the wine is aged in neutral French oak.
