Description
From the high, sandy plains of Rueda comes Shaya, a wine that pays tribute to the silent resistance of the old Verdejo vines. Vineyards over 80 years old, many of them ungrafted, survive thanks to their adaptation to the extreme continental climate: hot summers, cold nights, poor soils that demand character. Instead of looking for yields, the winery opted for the opposite: to respect the time of the vine, to care for each cluster as a living history. This decision - not to intervene more than necessary, to trust in the wisdom of the plant and the soil - is part of the soul of the wine. The grapes, certified organic, are harvested selectively and by hand.
Winemaking
The fermentation of Shaya is mainly carried out in stainless steel tanks, at a controlled temperature, to preserve the freshness and varietal expression of the Verdejo. A small part of the must ferments in French oak barrels, where it also remains for a season, providing subtle nuances and ageing capacity. After fermentation, the wine rests on its fine lees for several months. This lees work -without aggressive bâtonnage- provides roundness and a silky texture on the palate. The final blend of Shaya balances freshness, minerality and a depth that is unusual in young whites.
Taste
On the nose, Shaya displays a refined palette: ripe stone fruits, pink grapefruit, white flowers, subtle notes of bitter almond and a background of fresh fennel. The palate is lively on the entry: firm, enveloping, clean acidity that lightens the weight of the fruit and enhances the sandy minerality. The texture is creamy without being heavy; there is tension, nerve, a saline sensation reminiscent of dry soil after rain. Long finish, with citrus and spicy echoes, hints of marzipan and lemon peel. It is not a strident or simple Verdejo: it is restrained, elegant, designed to evolve. Perfect with seafood, white fish, semi-cured cheeses or simply to drink calmly, appreciating every trace of its complexity.
