Quintaluna Ossian

Quintaluna Ossian: Verdejo from Segovia

Quintaluna is a white wine made by Ossian Vides y Vinos from Verdejo grapes around Nieva in Segovia, within the Vino de la Tierra de Castilla y León designation. It presents a distinctive interpretation of Verdejo, rooted in an area known for old vineyards and sandy soils. It appeals to drinkers looking for white wines with freshness, texture and a strong sense of place.

Nieva and its vineyards

The winery describes a landscape of pine forests and sand, shaped by a continental climate. Some historic vines in the area survived phylloxera thanks to the character of the sandy ground. Ossian works with selected vineyard plots and plant material suited to the site. That regional history should not be read as a guarantee that every grape in every bottle comes from ungrafted, pre-phylloxera vines.

Winemaking and lees ageing

For its Quintaluna 2024 release, the winery documents hand harvesting, fermentation with native yeasts in small stainless steel tanks and time resting on lees. Those specifications relate to a particular vintage; they should not automatically be assigned to every bottle. Idyllica’s current listing does not name the harvest year, so we do not promise a precise ageing period or a fixed proportion matured in oak.

What style of wine is it?

Quintaluna aims to combine Verdejo’s lively character with a generous mouthfeel that may be enhanced by lees contact. It is worth exploring if you enjoy fresh but not overly light white wines. Fruit character and aroma will naturally change from vintage to vintage, and any tasting description should be taken as a guide rather than an identical outcome in every glass.

Serving and food pairings

Consider it with white fish, seafood, rice dishes, salads with fresh herbs, chicken or moderately flavoured cheeses. Start with a cool serving temperature and allow the wine to warm slightly in the glass. When comparing different Verdejos, pay attention to acidity, body, growing region and winemaking rather than the grape name alone.
