The vineyard is the cornerstone for the wines produced by Bodegas Naia.
Our work has centred on a selection of old vines, some of which are over 122 years old, of the autochthonous Verdejo variety.
Our vines are gobelet-trained, a traditional method that favours natural growth, as well as better sun exposure and ventilation.
The Rueda region lies at the intersection of continental and Mediterranean influences.
Due to the altitude, it experiences extreme seasonal temperatures, with a temperature difference of nearly fifty degrees between the harsh winters and hot, dry summers.
Rainfall is also scarce, with average annual levels of no more than 500 litres.
These conditions make the vines naturally resilient and favour the balance between sugar and acidity in the Verdejo grape clusters.
This characteristic favours the full and uniform ripening of the grapes, intensifying the aromas and flavours of the Verdejo wine. Additionally, the pebbles ensure excellent drainage, preventing excess water and strengthening the roots of the vines.
