Viñedos de Nieva
A quality producer in DO Rueda.
Founded in the late XXth century, Bodegas y Viñedos Nieva is located in Comarca del Nieva, a geographical area close to the city of Segovia with a winemaking tradition that goes back to the monastic era, almost a thousand years ago. Comprised within the DO Rueda, Comarca del Nieva has exceptional conditions for producing quality wines.
Grown at 850+ metres of altitude, in an area with an extreme Continental climate and huge temperature differences between daytime and nighttime, the vineyards of Viñedos Nieva winery cover an extension of 60 hectares, composed of sandy soils with embedded cobbles and pebbles. The winery has 54 hectares of Verdejo, the flagship cultivar of DO Rueda, 12 of which are ungrafted vines, some over 100 years of age. The other 6 hectares are planted with Sauvignon Blanc, an international white variety that has adapted quite well to the Castilian plateau.
In 2009, Nieva winery was acquired by Bodegas Martúe, a winery located in Toledo that focuses its production on red wines from international varieties with DO Pago Campo de la Guardia.
The Viñedos de Nieva winery are varietal white wines made from Verdejo and Sauvignon Blanc. The top of the range is Blanco Nieva Gran Vino de Rueda, sourced from ungrafted Verdejo vineyards and partially aged in oak.
