Cantalapiedra, the great name of Rueda

While vines have been cultivated here since medieval times, it must be said that the majority of wines currently offered have lost the essence of their origin, the imprint of their terroir. These are excessively aromatic, resolutely commercial, formulaic wines. If you are familiar with this type of Verdejo, this isn't for you. However, if you are looking for wines of intuition, on par with the greatest Loire Chenin Blancs imbued with freedom, don't miss the most inspired cuvées of Manuel Cantalapiedra. A winemaker who is currently elevating his wines to the pantheon of great Iberian white wines... if they haven't already.
