The exceptionality of this wine is also evidenced by the fact that only 650 bottles were produced. This wine is based on working with the most difficult characteristics of the Verdejo variety, working with must that is normally very cloudy, so the turbidity is reduced, but there is no high level of volatility. During the maturation in stainless steel tanks, a little bubbles are added to the wine. This is not a wine for beginners in the world of natural wine, so we recommend that you ¨drink¨ with it first.

Welcome to the República Independiente del Verdejo under the leadership of President Ismael Gozal! Ismael represents the fifth generation of winemakers in the municipality of Nieva in the Segovia region. The vineyards are dominated by sandy soil (along with clay, slate, limestone and pebbles) and pine forest around the bushes. The vineyards are located at an altitude of between 800-900 meters and are managed ecologically with as little intervention as possible. They have never come into contact with any chemicals. The oldest vineyards are around 270 years old, but the old ladies are still in pretty good shape!
Ismael follows a biodynamic calendar to balance the activities in the field and in the cellar. Originally, Ismael worked at the family winery Viñedos de Nieva, but wanted to go his own way and experiment with organic wines on his own. Voila - in 1998, the Microbio wines winery was born. Initially as a side project, in 2004 he fully embarked on natural wines, having quickly gained recognition with his lively, terroir-focused Verdeja wines. Ismael works with two product lines. Ismael Gozalo wines are more "classic" with a small amount of sulfite added during bottling. The Microbio wines mostly contain absolutely no added sulfur. All wines are spontaneously fermented, unfiltered and not fining.
