In 2002, Bodegas Naia set-up in La Seca, a region that is considered a grand cru in Rueda with the idea of making great white wines. Since then, the cornerstone of its work has been a selection of old vines of the autochthonous Verdejo. They are untrained vines, and some are pre-phylloxera. The vineyard is owned by Bodegas Naia and is 21.4 hectares in size and includes some strains that are more than a century old. From this raw material, the winery has been creating white wines that, over the years, have delighted many and have obtained top recognition and prizes.

Manfred became the president and partner of Cuvaison winery for 12 years before he moved on to consult world-wide for various companies. In 2002, Manfred finally decided to make his dream come true by creating his own wine with the intention to exceed ones expectations.
