Profile & Story
In La Seca (Valladolid), in the heart of Rueda, Manuel Cantalapiedra and his father Isaac began a family venture in 2014, farming 21 hectares of certified-organic vineyards with minimal intervention. Against the region's ultra-modern norm, they work fully ripe fruit, ferment with wild yeasts with little temperature control and add very little sulfur. Lirondo comes from old vines in the silty, pebbly 'Las Escudillas' plot at 750m under a severe continental climate.
Tasting Notes
Hand-harvested and destemmed with a short pre-press maceration, fermented with native yeasts in stainless steel and aged 8 months on lees, then bottled unfiltered, unfined and without added sulfur - a taut, mineral, characterful natural Verdejo.
