Buy or order Bodegas Naia wine

When you think of Spanish wines, you often immediately think of the Rioja region. Okay, that's certainly true; this is where some of Spain's finest red wines are produced. But don't forget the white wines. Then you head to Rueda, the white equivalent of Rioja. Rueda owes its existence largely to Marqués de Riscal, who recognized the region's potential back in the 1980s. In just forty years, Rueda has become one of Spain's largest wine regions. And this is largely thanks to the Dutch, who consume the most Rueda wines of all Europeans.

The best white wine from Spain

If you're looking for a great Rueda wine, you can't really ignore Bodegas Naia. In less than two decades, they have become a top producer of Spanish white wines. Bodegas Naia was founded in 2002 in the La Seca region. This area, in the heart of the Rueda, is also known as Grand Cru. This means that the growing conditions in La Seca are among the best in the entire Rueda.

Bodegas Naia owns a vineyard of over 21 hectares here. An incredible amount by Spanish standards. Proudly representing the queen of the Rueda: Verdejo. This white grape has managed to create an impressive fan base worldwide. A remarkable feature of Bodegas Naia's Verdejo grapes is that some vines have reached an age of 100 years. An astronomical age, even for grapevines.

The Spanish wines of Naia

The crown jewel of Bodegas Naia's range is undoubtedly the K-Naia. A true crowd-pleaser. Perhaps the best-selling Spanish white wine. Pure, fruity, and refreshing. Pure craftsmanship and sensational quality. We could fantasize about the K-Naia wine for hours. But the fact remains that this is one of the finest Verdejo wines from Spain.

Naia wines win prizes

However, Bodegas Naia has much more to offer. Other leading white wines include Naia and Naiades. The latter is the older sibling of the slightly fresher Naia. Besides their stunning quality, aroma, and flavor, these wines have also received numerous awards from renowned wine journalists, including Harold Hamersma. He awarded both Naia and Naiades an 8.5 in the Grote Hamersma, the guidebook for Dutch wine drinkers.
