2023 CANTALAPIEDRA VITICULTORES Description
At the heart of Seca, a small town in Castilla y Leon, different generations of the Cantalapiedra family have worked passionately, crafting wine. Nearly 21 hectares of vines aged around 30 years grow in the birthplace of the Verdejo variety. The soils are mainly composed of gravel but there are also some clay, sand, and limestone spots too. After the grapes are harvested entirely by hand, vinification takes place with as little intervention as possible to conserve their excellent quality. Fermentation is started by natural yeasts and minimum sulphur is added.
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
