This family run winery out of Barcelona is making approachable, honest wines with a touch of wit. The family behind Alta Alella has spent their entire life dedicated to wine; that would be husband and wife Josef and Cristina with their two daughters. They have always been surrounded by vineyards and bottles; so it is only natural! There is a complete commitment to nature, yet desire to keep with trends. The family enjoys a little wit with their branding as well. Though the winery is young, the family continually push themselves to learn new things with each vintage.
Grown in sandy granite at an altitude of 150-300M, this wine is aged solely in stainless steel vats. Light and crisp with notes of Mediterranean herbs, red berries and hints of citrus.
Cantalapiedra VdT Castilla y Leon Lirondo 2023
White wine Aged on its lees Natural, Organic and Vegan.
Lirondo is a natural white wine crafted from the verdejo variety in V.T. Castilla-León at the Isaac Cantalapiedra winery.
In the municipality of La Seca (Valladolid), nestled in the heart of the renowned Denomination of Origin for the verdejo variety, Rueda, Manuel Cantalapiedra and his father Isaac embarked on a family venture in 2014. This initiative cultivates 21 hectares of vineyards organically and produces wines with minimal intervention. In other words, contrary to the commercial demands that have popularised the verdejo variety, this winery seeks the pure expression of the variety and the terroir.
The vineyards of Lirondo are particularly notable for being part of the "Las Escuclillas" plot, which has ideal conditions for cultivating the verdejo variety. Old vines planted in silty soil and pebbles at an altitude of 750 metres above sea level, under a severely continental climate with stark thermal contrasts between day and night. 100% organic farming is practised with the application of biodynamic treatments that protect the terroir's balance and prevent potential diseases. Harvesting is done manually at the optimal moment of ripeness
Lirondo is a white wine that captivates with its lightness and smoothness. When brought to the nose, it unveils fresh and fruity aromas, with distinct notes of apple and pear, complemented by a citrus touch that adds liveliness, along with subtle herbal nuances reminiscent of a countryside stroll. Upon tasting, its intense freshness and lightness become evident, providing a pleasant and dynamic sensation, with a gentle saline hint. Perfect for those who wish to enjoy an authentic Verdejo wine brimming with character. Pair with soft goat cheese, fish, fresh ceviche, and all other seafood.
