Cantalapiedra, Majuelo El Chiviritero 2022

Produktbeskrivelse

“The single-vineyard Verdejo 2021 Majuelo del Chiviritero comes from a plot planted by the family in 1981 on stony soils typical of La Seca on limestone soils, 2.5 hectares at 750 meters in altitude that deliver low yields of powerful and concentrated wine but with the energy and tension from the limestone. The juice from the direct pressing of the clusters fermented in used French oak barrels, where the wine matured for 11 months and then a further six months in stainless steel before being bottled. The nose is a bit reticent but soon reveals notes of tangerine peel and white flowers. It has 13.5% alcohol, a pH of 3.18 and 5.6 grams of acidity, contained ripeness, good freshness and acidity, coming through as very balanced. It is tasty, textured, precise and fresher than ever.” 93p. Robert Parker, om 2021

Verdejo druerne er alle dyrkede i Rueda, men bærer på grund af typiciteten ikke denne appellation. Druerne til Chivitero stammer fra en lille parcel plantet i 1981, i 750 m.o.h. Udbyttet er på sparsomme 30 hl. ha. Gæringen af de økologiske druer sker på franske egetræsfade af forskellig størrelse. Druerne gærer i hele 44 dage, ved blot 15 grader. Vinen får lov at lagre på bundfaldet i 9måneder uden omrøring, inden den aftappes. Vinen gennemgår kun delvis malolaktisk gæring. Cantalapiedra svovler meget lidt, – det totale indhold af svovl i denne vin er kun 37 mg/l.
