In 2008, Beatriz Herranz returned to the family vineyards in La Seca, Valladolid, to begin her new project and recover the essence of Verdejo.
She cultivates all her vines following the rules of organic agriculture, respecting the variety, the soils and the climate. These vineyards are located in the Paraje de Cantarranas, La Seca. Its soils are sandy, with a lot of pebbles, and they are clayey and limestone-based in deeper strata. The climate is continental, with cold and dry winters.
Barco del Corneta Judas is part of the recovery project that Beatriz is carrying out along with local wine growers, using native varieties from the area. Bruto comes from a vineyard that is over 60 years old, located in the municipality of Villanueva de Duero, at 710 metres above sea level, on soils containing siliceous sand and pebbles.
The grapes are harvested manually and placed in 15-kg boxes. After macerating for 12-18 hours, the whole grape is pressed and fermented in two 500 litre oak barrels with native yeasts. After fermentation, it stands for 12 months in these same barrels with its fine lees. Before being bottled, it is left to stand for 2 months in stainless steel vats.
Barco del Corneta is a personal commitment by Beatriz Herranz, a lover of Verdejo; a commitment to rescuing the essence of Verdejo, seeking respect for the variety’s identity, the soil and the climate. Century-old vineyards cultivated organically, respecting the environment and the diversity of the vineyard. Captivating.
