Shaya Verdejo 2020

Producer Tasting Notes

"On the nose it displays toasty baking spices, nutmeg, spring flowers, marzipan, and pit fruits. A bit richer and more complex on the palate than the “regular” cuvee, this vibrant wine could evolve for 1-2 years but is drinking well now"

Bodegas Shaya

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. The wines ferment partially in barrels and stays with the lees in its entirety for several months before being bottled
