AboutBarco del Corneta
Barco del Corneta began in 2007, when oenologist Beatriz Herranz and Félix Crespo started a wine project around her family’s land in La Seca, at the heart of Rueda. They planted Verdejo at Cantarranas in 2008 and gradually assembled a set of organically farmed parcels across Castilla y León. The parcels differ in altitude, soil and vine age. After its first years in rented cellars, Barco del Corneta brought the 2019 harvest into its own winery in La Seca.
Barco del Corneta 2022 Cucú Verdejo
Spanish White
White fruit, apricot and citrus open this rounded Verdejo, with anise and fresh herbal notes adding lift. Organically grown fruit from La Seca is partly fermented in French oak, bringing gentle volume while bright acidity keeps the palate precise. The finish is balanced, savoury and persistent. Serve chilled with grilled fish, shellfish, vegetable rice dishes, roast poultry or creamy cheese.
