Shaya

The grapes for this wine come from 30.5 ha. of low yielding very old Verdejo vineyards. The vines are trained in the vaso system and planted in very sandy soils which make possible the fact that many of the vines are ungrafted and very old. Rueda is geographically unremarkable; mainly latlands, though high in altitude, about 2300 feet above sea level for most of the region and some areas even get snowfall. Shaya has a distinct character, at all, odds with the elegance, and which is characterized by the aromas of exotic fruits, with vegetable notes of grass clippings, broad and serious wine. The vines are trained in the vaso system and planted in very sandy soils with a top layer of small river gravels, to obtain a high level of complexity after the fermentation in stainless steel tanks equipped with temperature control.
