These are a mosaic of plots on the terraces of the Voltoya River, with sandy and gravelly soils that once thwarted phylloxera, so that a significant portion of the vines are still ungrafted and survive on pre-phylloxera roots. Many of these Verdejo vines are 100 to 200 years old and are trained as bush vines, with very low yields and remarkably concentrated fruit. The vineyards are farmed entirely organically, with natural fertilization and a strong focus on soil biology, so that the plants adapt well to the extreme continental climate with cold winters, hot summers, and large temperature variations between day and night.

The bunches are then gently pressed, and only the free-flowing juice is used for the wine. The must is fermented with indigenous yeasts in wooden barrels and large foudres of various sizes, ensuring slow, controlled fermentation and added texture. The wine then matures for approximately nine months on its lees in French oak barrels and foudres, with regular stirring to increase yeast contact and develop the creamy texture. This combination of old vines, spontaneous fermentation, and oak aging gives Ossian 2022 a distinctly Burgundian character, with plenty of tension between its rich mouthfeel and crisp acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"2471\" data-end=\"2494\"\u003e Grape composition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-start=\"2496\" data-end=\"2779\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-start=\"2496\" data-end=\"2552\"\u003eVerdejo – old pre-phylloxera vineyards around Nieva\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr data-start=\"2552\" data-end=\"2555\"\u003eOssian 2022 is 100% Verdejo from organically farmed, very old vines, many of which are ungrafted and over 100 years old, which is immediately evident in the wine's concentration, complexity, and minerality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"2781\" data-end=\"2812\"\u003e Tasting notes and serving suggestions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp data-start=\"2814\" data-end=\"3799\"\u003eOssian 2022 has a deep, golden yellow color with light green and gold highlights.
