Ordoñez Verdejo Rueda Nisia Las Suertes Old Vines 2023

94 points Tim Atkin, MW: "[14%] Located in Segovia, the vineyard area of Majuelos de Carrabañas was planted in 1900 and some parts even earlier. Vines here are pre-phylloxera on ungrafted root stock grown on sandy soils at more than 800m. With all the directness of Verdejo from this southern part of the region, it is a steely and driven wine but generous enough following 12 months ageing in large barrels on lees. A wonderful passionfruit seed crunch defines the acidity that drives this wine while the finish is sherbet and fresh. 2024-2030. (2024)"

93 points Jeb Dunnuck: "[$35 list] The 2023 Nisia Las Suertes is 100% Verdejo from very old vines (possibly even the 1880s) and was aged on the lees with bâtonnage for a minimum of 7 months in French oak puncheons and demi-muids. It has more melon ball, hay, crushed stone, and subtly honey nuances that carry to a beautifully textured, layered white with a gorgeous mid-palate, integrated acidity, and a great finish. It's a serious wine that's geared for the dinner table. (7/3/24)"
