Cantalapiedra Obertura Blanco 2024 is a white wine made by Manuel Cantalapiedra in La Seca, Valladolid, in the Rueda region of Castilla y León, Spain.
It is made from 100% Verdejo, sourced from two old-vine plots aged 55 and 60 years, planted on their own roots (ungrafted vines). The vineyards have soils with iron-rich limestone subsoils, contributing to the wine's structure and character.
The grapes are hand-harvested and directly pressed without settling. Fermentation takes place spontaneously in French oak barrels, followed by 24 months of ageing in French demi-muids, with no sulphur added during the winemaking process. This is a very limited-production Verdejo, conceived to express the character of the old vines of La Seca.
