2023 Barco del Corneta Verdejo | Organic White Wine from Spain’s Castilla y León

Discover the vibrant essence of Spain’s Castilla y León region with this crisp 2023 Barco del Corneta Verdejo. Crafted from handpicked organic grapes sourced across Segovia and Valladolid, this wine balances bold structure with refreshing elegance. The winemaking team blends grapes from La Seca—known for its robust character—with those from Segovia’s Aldeanueva del Codonal, where cooler climates yield bright acidity and floral aromas.

Expect a lively palate of citrus and green apple, underscored by hints of white flowers and a subtle balsamic twist from its youthful vibrancy. At 13.5% alcohol, it’s smooth yet structured, finishing with that signature Verdejo bitterness—a hallmark of authentic varietal expression.

Ideal for pairing with light dishes or sipping solo, this organic-certified wine shines as a versatile choice for wine lovers seeking both approachability and depth. With a Wine Advocate rating of 91+ points, it’s a standout example of Castilla y León’s white wine craftsmanship.
