PRODUCTION
The vegetative cycle occurred under favorable conditions, with regular bud break and uniform growth. The hot, dry summer promoted grape ripening and health, while late rains slightly delayed the harvest without affecting quality. The crop was well-balanced, with ripe, aromatic, and acidic grapes, allowing for wines with good varietal expression, medium-high structure, freshness, and aging potential, faithfully reflecting the character of the vineyard and the vintage.
Hand-harvested with fruit selection in the vineyard. Destemming and pre-fermentation maceration at low temperature for 6 hours. Alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel tanks below 20°C. Aged for 4 months on fine lees with weekly periodic rackings.
TASTING NOTES
This Godello presents itself as a very clean and bright wine, with a straw-yellow color and golden rim, inviting enjoyment from the very first moment. On the nose, aromas of fruit and white flowers unfold, accompanied by subtle herbaceous notes and a delicate citrus touch, giving it a defined, harmonious, and very varietal aromatic profile. On the palate, it has a creamy attack supported by wellmeasured acidity that provides tension and balance.
The finish is long, leaving a pleasant final bitterness that adds complexity.
