Cantalapiedra VDT Castilla y Leon Cantayano Verdejo 2023

Grape: Verdejo
Vintage: 2023
Type: White

All verdejo From organically farmed vines that are 20-30 years old in the La Seca area. The vines are planted on sandy soil with abundant pebbles over marl and limestone. The grapes were destemmed and pressed with a pneumatic press into about 80% stainless steel tanks and 20% used French oak barrels, where the juice settled and fermented at about 20 degrees Celsius. The wine completed fermentation and malolactic conversion and rested for 12 months on the lees before bottling without fining or filtering. On the nose, Cantayano shows stone fruit, apple, and herbaceous notes, while the palate is surprising dense, with a beautiful seam of acidity.
