| Description: | Technical notes The grapes are hand harvested from vineyards planted in 1975, put into small baskets to prevent bruising. 40% of the grapes are fermented in large format neutral French Oak casks, no malo-lactic fermentation, aged for six months on the lees. Producer The winery is a project of Bodegas Godeval and Jorge Ordonez. It is located in the mountains next to El Barco de Valdeorras, in the province of Orense (Galicia), in the northwest of Spain. The 35 year-old Godello vineyards are located on the mountain slopes, and are therefore in terraces. The composition of the soil is of metamorphic slate, although you could find granite in other vineyards of the appellation. Planted at 1,350-1,650 feet (450-550 m) above sea level. The two very old Mencia vineyards,70 and 85 years old, planted on vaso system on the hillsides facing south on soils made of decomposed black slate and quartz located at 550 m (1,800 ft) above sea level. 100% Godello that spent 6 months on lees with plenty of batonnage. From 40- to 70-year-old vines planted all in slate, it offers an exotic nose of crushed lime, pineapple, mint, and distinct minerality. Medium-bodied, juicy, and balanced on the palate, with good acidity and a clean, crisp finish, drink this classy white any time over the coming 3-4 years. |
