Honeysuckle and stone fruit meet refreshing acidity in this 100% Verdejo, grown in its ancestral home of Rueda in Castilla y León. Winemaker Manuel Cantalapiedra employs biodynamic practices in the vineyard, harvesting grapes by hand from old parcels and fermenting with indigenous yeasts. This wine sees a quick 12 hours of skin contact – which gives a touch of spice and tannin on the palate – before spending eight months on the fine lees, resulting in a medium-bodied wine that can stand up to flavorful, dense meals like tteokbokki or cheesy polenta with charred broccoli rabe. ("Lirondo" is not a widely recognized word in English, but in the context of wine, it refers to a specific type of white wine made from the Verdejo grape variety, produced by the Spanish winery "Isaac Cantalapiedra". "Lirondo" is essentially the name of their signature Verdejo wine, known for its fresh, natural character with minimal intervention during production. )
