Tasting Notes
Their Godello is grown on trellised vines located in Salnés and Ribera del Ulla, with their very particular microclimates influenced by the character of the Atlantic and nearby rivers. Once harvested and fermented the wine is eft to rest for two winters, the second of which the lees are stirred very slowly and gently. This process lasts 10 months then a small portion of the wine is matured in French oak barrels, and blended back in after 5 months. After this, the wine is left to rest in bottle for 7 months.The aromas are floral, with notes of jasmine, rose and gardenia. The palate is classic Godello with tropical fruit and stone fruit such as apricot. Overall the mouthfeel is delicate yet rounded and finishes with a moreish salinity.
