It’s WHITE. It’s JUICY. It’s GREAT…
Verdejo is often said to be Spain’s answer to Sauvignon Blanc with crisp acidity, green fruit and refreshing minerality. The Cantayano from Castilla y León in Spain will certainly satisfy any Sauvignon lover but here there is so much more.
Winemaker Manuel Cantalapiedra farms organically from single crop vineyards and leaves his grapes to ripen that little bit longer than his neighbours. This coupled with some lees ageing gives the wine a maturity and elegance that shows why this man is leading the charge in Rueda!
No longer will you settle for an Oyster Bay, it’s time for Sauvignon, the Spanish way.
