Ossian Vides y Vinos Ossian Organic Verdejo 2020 75cl
£33.94
An extraordinary wine from a unique place on earth, Ossian is the fruit of vines more than 150 years old - escapees of the Phylloxera pandemic that scourged the world's vineyards in the late 19th Century Its lovely, juicy-ripe pear fruitiness is strongly reminiscent of white Burgundy, while a green fennel herbal character sets it apart as something quite unique A finely-applied veneer of top-quality oak enhances the wine's distinctiveness, and concentration from the ancient vines provides splendid persistence of flavours now, while promising further development in the bottle over several more years The vines have never been grafted, and have developed their own extensive root system deep into the sand and slate terroir that has protected them for centuries, and which contributes greatly to the notable balance and expressiveness in the wine

Ossian Vides y Vinos Ossian Organic Verdejo 2021 75cl
£33.94
An extraordinary wine from a unique place on earth, Ossian is the fruit of vines almost 200 years old - survivors of the Phylloxera pandemic that scourged the world's vineyards in the late 19th Century It has a lovely rich, lush juicy-ripe pear fruitiness; strongly reminiscent of young white Burgundy This is followed by a green fennel herbal character that sets it apart as something distinct and utterly unique Also akin to Burgundy is the finely-applied veneer of top-quality oak, which enhances but does not obscure the wine's singular personality Underneath all this is a tight, grippy 'mineral' character, suggesting that, while enjoyable now, this should also develop beautifully over a few years The ancient vines have never been grafted, and have developed their own extensive root system deep into the sand and slate terroir that has protected them for centuries, and which contributes greatly to the notable balance and expressiveness in the wine
Ossian Vides y Vinos Quintaluna Verdejo 2021 75cl
£21.17
This marvellous wine has a beautiful fragrance of golden apples, quince and a suggestion of pine woods It's rounded and creamy in texture, with lovely freshness and balance A far cry from the homogenous vineyards of northern Rueda, an hour to the south in Nieva, there is a varied landscape of pine forests and massive slate boulders, interspersed with ancient vineyards planted on pure sand 60% of the fruit that goes into Quintaluna comes from ungrafted vines, including some planted in the 19th Century (the sandy soil protects the vines from the Phylloxera louse, meaning that they can survive without having to be grafted) The vine age results in an intensity and complexity that is extremely rare in wines made with the Verdejo grape
