Barco del Corneta 2018

A waxy and fruity white with dried-pear and pineapple character. Medium to full body, layers of fruit and a flavorful finish. Complex and satisfying. Drink now.

2018 was a cooler year with a warm end of the season, so the 2018 Barco del Corneta is fully ripe but has very good freshness. It fermented with indigenous yeasts in barrel, where it matured with the lees (but without bâtonnage) to give it complexity and keeping the varietal profile. They want to avoid the tropical notes, and they managed it, showing a serious, subtle and elegant Verdejo with a chalky texture, sapid and tasty with an almost salty finish. It has a more complex profile given the élevage in oak.
