Note di degustazione
The 2015 Capitel is riper and feels more advance. It has more alcohol and a rounder palate, with more varietal character and less soil than the 2014, which was the most mineral of all. It finishes with the classical bitter twist in the finish. This feels ready now.

Straight-up awesome stuff, the 100% Verdejo 2015 Verdejo Capitel comes from the older vines of the estate and was fermented and aged in four 228-liter and one 600-liter barrel. Thrilling notes of orchard fruits, white flowers, crushed rocks and toasted bread all flow to a full-bodied, concentrated white that has perfect balance, bright acidity, and a great, great finish. It knocks it out of the park on all accounts and is an incredible Verdejo that has both richness and elegance.
180-year-old, pre-phylloxera Verdejo from a single, low-yielding vineyard. Wild-yeast fermentation, with maturation in 70% new 228-litre barrels. No MLF. Bottle maturation is important for this wine especially, so they release relatively late. Pale-medium lemon. Lemon, white peach and subtle vanilla, with integral oak spice and almond nut. Fairly full-bodied, with lees richness and a fine line of acidity that cuts through the palate weight. Slightly warming, but with a long, creamy finish. (TJ)
