Cantalapiedra Viticultores, Lirondo 2022
Variety: Verdejo
In the region of Castilla y Leon of western Spain is Rueda. The grapes Verdejo and Tinto de Toro thrive here. In Rueda, there was a transition of conventional winemaking and then a slow progression (by a few) to make more expressive wines with lower intervention. The Cantalapiedras family dates back to the 19th century in the Rueda, with each generation bringing something new. There was a transition of conventional farming and selling fruit to finally bottling their own wines in 2014. There was another transition of making organic and biodynamic farming a priority. Manuel is the lead of the current generation, making wines both single vineyard and entry level.
This Verdejo comes from “Las Escuclillas” vineyard. This wine is done all in stainless steel to retain its natural freshness and aged on its lees for 8 months for more texture and aromatics. There are no added sulfites.
