BODEGAS NAIA

Bodegas Naia

Bodegas Naia was established in La Seca, the birthplace of Verdejo in Rueda, in 2002 with the purpose of extracting the best qualities of the original clone of Verdejo in the D. O. Rueda.

La Seca is a village in the heart of the D. O. Rueda whose municipality is mostly covered by vineyards and where the exceptional climate conditions, soils and impressive old vineyards make it the perfect place to make some of the best white wines in the world.

From the begining Bodegas Naia has based its worked on a selection of old, local, gobelet-trained Verdejo vines, and it has always produced wines that express the authenticity of a rigorous work in the vineyard. Precisely, at Bodegas Naia the vineyard is the key element of winemaking.

Naia has become in a very short time a benchmark in the defence of the Verdejo variety, and it reproduces the model of great white wines in the world: fresh wines that are also well structured, tasty and have character.

Vineyard

The cornerstone of the work carried out in Bodegas Naia has been a selection of old vines of the autochthonous Verdejo. They are untrained vines, and some are pre-philloxeric.

Bodegas Naia has 23.5 ha of own vineyards: 20 ha of which are gobelet trained vineyards with over 40 years of age and 2 ha of young (15 years of age) trellis vineyards. The rest are gobelet-trained Viura vineyards with over 35 years of age. Bodegas Naia works very closely with winegrowers from the region and it has established a strong and sustained relationship with them. These vineyards have an age range between 80 and 130 years.
