Verdejo
The vineyard is head trained, dry farmed, and cared for with the most traditional methods of viticulture possible. No fungicides, pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers, or irrigation is used. This spectacular vineyard preserves the heritage of the oldest clones of Verdejo in Spain.

The single vineyard used to produce Nisia Las Suertes is called Finca Las Suertes, and was planted in 1885 in near the town of Puras in Rueda. This is one of the last remaining pre-phylloxeric and ungrafted vineyards that has not been uprooted in Rueda.
The winery both owns vineyards and buys fruit from vineyards planted between 1885 and 1970. All of the vineyards are head-trained, dry farmed, and ungrafted. They are all planted on stony-sandy soils that are phylloxera resistant, at 800M above sea level on the Spanish central plateau. These are conditions that are responsible for tremendous temperature swings between day and night.
After undergoing a short cold soak and sorting, the grapes are partially destemmed and crushed. The must ferments in 90% neutral, 10% new puncheons and demi-muids.
The wine is aged on the lees for 10 months.
