Tasting Notes

Pale yellow color with golden reflections. The nose reveals intense aromas of citrus (lemon peel, grapefruit), ripe white fruit (apple, pear), aromatic herbs, and fine mineral notes. On the palate, it is creamy, with good structure, lively acidity that provides tension, and a long, persistent finish with lingering mineral and citrus notes.

Pairing

Perfect with fatty fish (turbot, sea bass), seafood, seafood paella, scallops, vegetable cream, and semi-soft cheeses. It also works ideally as a cellar wine for those looking to evolve it in the bottle.

Ossian Verdejo Viñas Viejas 2021 is a white wine that combines the freshness of Verdejo with the depth of historic vines: mineral, expressive, and with lasting character.
