Barco del Corneta 2022 [White]
Producer: Barco del Corneta
Region: Vino de la tierra

100% verdejo organically grown in the Cantarranas vineyard, La Seca. The 5.5 hectare plot, planted in 2008 on rocky/sandy soils is producing excellent grapes despite it's youngish age. After a short cold fernemtation, the grapes are crushed with stems, fermented in 300 liters French oak barrels, finally resting on the fine lees for 9 months.

Nice amber color, scents of fresh tree fruit with a hint of orange rind and gentle oaky spice.
Rich and smooth on the palate with abundant fruit, a touch of spice and a slightly bitterish citrus peel finish. An excellent bottle of wine that will pair well with an ample range of dishes.

The wine's namesake, Barco del Corneta, is an adjoining pine forest. It's bottled under the Vino de la Tierra de Castilla Denomination.
