Cantalapiedra El Espejo Verdejo 2022

Grape: Verdejo
Vintage: 2022
Type: White

From a unique, 3.6-hectare vineyard planted in 1999, situated 750m in elevation. The singular soil is composed of clay, marl and limestone, with less pebbles than what is typically seen in the area, resulting in a particularly cooling soil for the plants. The sandy, stony soils and the old vines give a wine that’s saline and linear, but never sharp. There’s a gentle creaminess from its time on lees, a flicker of citrus peel and fennel, and a chalky, mineral depth that unfolds with air. Fermented spontaneously and aged in old barrels, it's an honest, transparent snapshot of a historic site—timeless and quietly thrilling.
