Afinador de Estrellas 2017
$32.95
While this looks like an orange wine it is technically a rose from a little known Rueda grape! Fun bubbles with lots of floral character alongside stone fruit. Complex and delicious!
Tasting Notes: Lively bubbles and a stunning acidity make this the perfect summer sipper.
Pairing Suggestions: Seafood, White Meat, Tapas

Welcome to the República Independiente del Verdejo under President Ismael Gozalo. Many know him for his work at Ossian, one of the more respectable houses in Rueda, where he was the winegrower and maker since founding it in 2004. Ismael’s family owns some of the oldest (between 100-200 years old) ungrafted pre-phylloxera vines, most of which in the town of Nieva, province of Segovia between 800-900 meters of altitud. Characterized by it’s sandy soils, these head trained vines have never seen any chemicals over the different generations that have cared for them. Though outside of the D.O. for never budging to the region’s modern and manipulative techniques, to this day Ossian remains one of the few organic producers in Rueda. Today, under the Pago de Carraovejas umbrella, Ossian continues to make some of the more interesting wines of the region but Ismael took his talent elsewhere, bringing his family’s most prized vineyards with him.
