Ossian Vides Y Vinos
Founded in 2005, Ossian Vides y Vinos owns 40 hectares of exceptional vineyards in Nieva, the highest point in the Rueda appellation at altitudes between 840 and 930 metres of above sea level. Its most prized asset is its vines which are not only incredibly ancient being between 100 and 200 years old, but a are pre-phylloxera and planted on their own rootstocks. The phylloxera louse devasted most of Europe’s vines in the 19th and early 20th centuries, but thanks to having soils comprised largely of sand, Ossian’s survived. Organically farmed, the tiny amount of fruit these vines produce is phenomenally concentrated and makes Ossian what it is, one of Spain’s greatest white wines.

Capitel 2019 is the flagship wine from the magnificent Ossian Vides y Vinos, arguably Spain’s greatest white wine producer. The Capitel is made from the estate’s oldest vines, some of which are believed to be 200 years old, from a tiny, organically farmed plot at Peña Aguda, in Nieva. Over the years, the roots have penetrated the slate sheets beneath the surface and extracted a rich mineral strength from them. This packs the tiny berries with concentration and complexit
