Barco del Corneta 2022 (x3)
Descripción
Barco del Corneta es el emblema de la bodega homónima afincada en Medina del Campo. Intenso y delicioso, despliega aromas de su crianza en barrica perfectamente integrados con notas de fruta fresca y recuerdos a hierba recién cortada propios de la Verdejo. Untuoso y fresco a la vez hace gala de una complejidad que te dejará sin aliento. Un gran blanco para redescubrir la Verdejo.

Opinión de los críticos
The eponymous white 2022 Barco del Corneta was cropped from a very warm and dry year. It's produced with the grapes from their vines in the Cantarranas lieu-dit of the village of La Seca and the origin of the project. It's from 5.5 hectares of 16-year-old vines on sandy and limestone soils typical of the Duero zone, worked organically and, in the last three years, with cover crops trying to improve the soil structure and balance of the vines. It fermented in 300-, 500- and 600-liter French and Austrian oak barrels, but all the new ones they buy are either 500 or 600 liters. As in many places, the result is much better than expected, the balance in the vineyards through organic work and lots of viticulture shows in the wines. It has a beautiful nose with some reductive hints, opening up to aromas of tangerine peel and notes of hay and straw, and it's quite varietal and ripe without excess, with 13.5% alcohol and a pH of 3.29 denoting freshness. It's very tasty, with a chalky granularity and a dry finish with the varietal bitter twist. 14,500 bottles produced. It was bottled in August 2023.
Beatriz Herranz recuerda de su niñez el viñedo de su abuelo, al que no llegó a conocer. Una viña en Cantarranas que muchos años después heredaría su madre y que la llevaría de vuelta a La Seca.
