Information
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. The region’s terroir is defined by its distinctive mantle of pebbles, which plays a crucial role in shaping the character of the Verdejo grape. Aware of today’s environmental issues and committed to offering authentic cuvées that reflect the purest expression of the terroir, the estate adheres to strict biodynamic principles and is certified organic. 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.
The Verdejo vines used to produce this wine stretch across the well-known winemaking village of Villanueva de Duero, in the heart of Spain's Castilla y León region. Each plot is carefully cultivated with the greatest respect for the environment and biodiversity, using strict organic and biodynamic farming methods. Chemical fertilisers and weedkillers are completely avoided to make way for gentler, more precise viticulture. In the winery, the philosophy is the same, allowing the Verdejo grapes to express all their flavours and personality naturally.
This clear, brilliant straw-yellow coloured wine with beautiful hints of light green, promises an expressive bouquet. The nose has an intensely fruity perfume of orange zest, fresh apple and fennel while the palate is fresh and juicy. Its marked mineral structure is perfectly balanced by fresh fruit aromas, leading to a fresh, aromatic finish.
