Majuelo El Espejo 2022 is one of the single-vineyard wines from Cantalapiedra Viticultores , the project of Isaac Cantalapiedra and his son Manuel in La Seca (Valladolid), the historical heart of Verdejo wine country . It comes from a single vineyard, the El Espejo plot , of approximately 3.6 hectares located at an altitude of 750 meters . It is organically farmed.
Verdejo here reveals a very different dimension than usual. The sandy-clay soils with a subsoil of marl and limestone impart freshness and salinity . Fermentation and aging in French oak barrels give it volume , a creamy texture , and complexity. It is a serious Verdejo, with a gastronomic vocation, that completely breaks with the stereotypes of the region.
An intense, creamy, and vibrant white wine that demonstrates the potential of vineyard Verdejo when handled with respect. Only 6,757 bottles and 45 magnums were produced from this vintage.

The grapes come from the El Espejo vineyard in La Seca, which has low yields and is cultivated organically . The harvest is done by hand , in small crates, and the bunches are pressed whole .
The wine ferments in 500 and 600-liter French oak barrels , without temperature control, and undergoes malolactic fermentation . It is then aged for approximately 11 months in barrels and another 7 months in stainless steel tanks . It is bottled unfined and unfiltered .
A very gastronomic white wine , ideal with white fish in sauce or baked, seafood , creamy rice dishes , white meats , mushrooms and aged cheeses .
We recommend serving it between 10 and 12ºC to fully appreciate its complexity.
We love it because it’s an authentic single-vineyard Verdejo , from a family that has been tending the vineyard in La Seca for generations. A wine that focuses on the vineyard, not on trends, and that proves Verdejo can produce great, age-worthy white wines .
We love the balance between its creamy texture and saline tension , and how it evolves in the glass . It’s ideal for those seeking white wines with depth and personality, and it has the potential to improve in the bottle for several years.
