Wine critics reviewsReviews by Parker

The 2021 Cantayano is their entry-level white from different vineyards in their village La Seca. The aim is to show the naked Verdejo grape with no makeup and showing the climate and soil. 2021 was one of the coldest years in recent times, but mildew decimated the crop, which resulted in an early harvest starting at the end of August. It fermented in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts and matured with the lees in tank for six to eight months. It was also a year of mildew and low yields, and the wine finished with 13.8% alcohol but has very good lemony freshness and acidity. All of the whites have full malolactic, which is a little unusual in the zone, but it's the result of working with low sulfur and doing a somewhat oxidative vinification. It's expressive, varietal (with textbook notes of freshly cut grass), faintly balsamic and clean, developing notes of aniseed with time in the glass. It has volume and ripe flavors—Verdejo can give powerful wines—with a gentle texture and a tasty finish. 28,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in March 2022.

Manuel Cantalapiedra, son of Isaac Cantalapiedra, works as the oenologist for the family winery in La Seca (Valladolid). It was founded back in 1949 when Heliodoro, the grandfather, first planted his own vineyard. Ever since then, the passion for the land and organic agriculture expressed by generations of the family, have led to the production of wines with an unusual level of expressiveness for this region. Wines which express much more than the Verdejo grapes usually do, or...
