FEATURES
🏰Ossian Capitel Verdejo 2016 is a 【pure expression of very old, pre-phylloxera Verdejo vines, offering extraordinary mineral strength, complexity, and longevity from a high-quality vintage】. The 2016 vintage in Rueda was a benchmark year for splendidly balanced and expressive wines, with a mild winter, rainy spring, and hot, dry August and September leading to a high-quality, concentrated harvest. This wine is crafted from very old, pre-phylloxera Verdejo vines, some approaching 200 years of age, located in the Peña Aguda plot on a dark slate vein, extracting extraordinary mineral strength. It is produced only in selected years with extraordinary grapes. This wine presents an old golden yellow color with greenish reflections. The nose is intense with yellow and white fruits, balsamic notes, often ripe, toasty aromas of dried mango, cooked lemon, praline, dried flowers, and herbs. On the palate, it is fresh, full, and concentrated, with intense orchard and pit fruit flavors, citrus zest, and bitter pear skin qualities. It is full-bodied, rich, and buttery, yet zesty with tangy acidity, leading to a round and flavorful finish with lingering toast notes.

Ossian Capitel pairs beautifully with turkey flocks in mustard sauce, smoked tuna tartare, and salmon. Its freshness and acidity make it a natural partner for salads with vinaigrette dressings, especially those with goat's cheese, avocado, and cucumber. It also complements chicken breast wrapped in bacon, oven-baked with buttery new potatoes, or pasta dishes without tomato sauce, such as spaghetti alla Nerano. Grilled swordfish or shrimp, seafood paella, crab cakes, and savory baked hors d'oeuvres are also excellent choices. For a local touch, try it with steamed fish with light soy sauce, or salt and pepper squid.
