The Story Behind the Wine:

Produced by Ossian Vides y Vinos, part of the Pago de Carraovejas family, Quintaluna 2019 is made from 100% Verdejo. The grapes come from a mix of pre-phylloxera vines (some over 100 years old) and younger vines, grown in sandy soils in northern Segovia. These ancient vines survived the phylloxera plague due to their unique soil composition, creating a wine that beautifully reflects both history and innovation. The wine is fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged on its lees for nine months in a combination of stainless steel tanks, oak barrels, and foudres, adding to its complexity.

Pairing Suggestions:

• Seafood: Perfect with grilled grouper, mussels in white wine, or tuna linguine with lemon sauce.
• Cheese: Pairs wonderfully with creamy goat cheese or Manchego.
• Main Course: Roasted chicken or a rich seafood risotto.
