It is the first vintage of this wine from a vineyard of 0.8 hectares (SW orientation) of small grain Godello with a calcareous clay soil, which is clearly the differentiating element of this wine, giving it the character of calcareous soils, resulting in a Godello of a very sharp and mineral profile.
Located in San Juan de la Mata, in the north of the Bierzo region, this 25-year-old vineyard is planted at an altitude of 650m and facing S-W. It is the old Godello clone, the smallest of the variety, with little plant vigor and smaller grape berries, which gives us greater concentration and depth.
Grapes are destemmed, light skin maceration overnight and gentle racking. Spontaneous fermentation and aging for 13 months in 600, 500 and 225L barrels and 800L amphora. Bottled with ~20ppm of SO2 and about 12.5% ABV. This vintage has 6,200 bottle production
It is a serious, elegant and well-balanced Godello, which combines subtle notes of green tea, chamomile flower, linden flower and a background of citrus fruit, with a very fresh and vertical mouthfeel, marked minerality and precise salinity that enhances the vibrant energy of this wine on the palate.
