Lirondo Clarete is 70% Verdejo and 30% Tinta de Toro from two certified organic sites at about 760 meters elevation planted on pebbly sand: “Las Esuclillas” (Verdejo, in Rueda, with limestone subsoils) and “Los Pilones” (Tempranillo, in Toro, with sandstone subsoils). The grapes from the two sites are picked separately, and the red grapes from Toro are macerated for about 24 hours. The Verdejo is directly pressed and added to the Tempranillo musts to ferment together with their native yeasts in stainless steel tanks. The wine rests for 8 months on the lees before bottling without fining, filtration, or sulfur addition
The result is a savory and piquant wine that lives somewhere between a rose and light red. Very expressive with crushed red berries, flowers and spices. Its medium body and saline texture speaks to the exceptional farming practices of Cantalapiedra and their ability to translate terroir. The wine is both complex and robust with a subtle salty edge and plenty of acidity that keeps it fresh through the finish.
