描述

In the Castilla y León region, the Cantalapiedra family’s estate stretches across some 20 hectares of vines where Verdejo reigns supreme. The vines thrive in soils rich in limestone, clay, pebbles and sandy gravel, which contribute to the distinct personality of the wines. At the helm of the estate is Manuel Cantalapiedra, a visionary in the region, fiercely dedicated to his terroir and committed to organic and biodynamic winegrowing practices. 


This is how he creates this white wine, made from various plots of Verdejo vines, each between 20 and 30 years old. These vines flourish in rocky, clay-rich silty soils with little limestone, before being hand-harvested and transported to the winery in small 15kg crates. Sulphur is completely excluded from the winemaking process, which is characterised by direct pressing, a 12 to 24-hour settling period, and a 40-day natural fermentation initiated by native yeasts. To preserve the delicate aromas, fermentation takes place under temperature control (15°C) in stainless steel vats. Following the malolactic fermentation process, the wine is aged on its lees for eight months in 225-litre French oak casks, developing softness, fullness and flavour.

 
This wine reveals a round, complex profile with a rich aromatic bouquet. Hints of beeswax, salt, lemongrass, fennel, and cream complement notes of stone fruit and citrus. A vibrant acidity runs through the wine, providing a welcome freshness.

Vibrant white wine with smoky and toasted nuances, accompanied by notes of licorice and peach, enhanced by a delicate acidity. An exceptional taste experience, standing out for its exceptional quality and uniqueness. An exceptionally well-crafted choice for lovers of good wine!
