“Ossian 2020 is the representation of a small group of Verdejo variety plots that house centuries of viticultural tradition in the Nieva area. Vineyards up to 200 years old that bear witness to the uniqueness of their varietal richness, their traditional local work and an almost extinct reality.” - 92 Points, Wine Spectator

“Fragrant with elderflower, chamomile and ginger accents, this vivid white features flavors of melon, star fruit, grilled macadamia nut and a touch of lemon curd. Sleek and finely creamy on the palate, with a minerally finish that hints at stone and brine. Verdejo.” - 92 Points, Wine Enthusiast
