Cantalapiedra Viticultores 2022 'Lirondo' Verdejo
From a father and son team in Castilla y León with three generations of organic farming under their belts, and since the early 2000s, incorporating Biodynamic methods as well. Isaac Cantalapiedra passed on the estate to his son, Manuel, who utilizes wild yeasts for fermentation, with minimal or zero SO2 added. This is an addictivly thist-quenching and textured Verdejo, unfiltered and with no SO2 added. A lovely opaque yellow in the glass, with white stone fruit on the nose, and great mid-palate weight followed by a clean, acid-driven finish. We can't get enough of the 2022, one of the cleanest and most gulpable of Manuel's recent vintages of this wine.
