VALDESIL | O CHAO GODELLO 2022 75cl

Product Sheet – O Chao 2022

O Chao 2022 is a dry white wine produced by Bodegas Valdesil in the D.O. Valdeorras, Galicia, Spain. It comes from the O Chao plot, planted in 1941 on the left bank of the Sil river, at an altitude of 600 meters. The Godello vines, a family clone from Pedrouzos dating back to 1885, are cultivated in sandy-loam colluvial soils derived from the weathering of granite rock. 

Harvest is done manually. Alcoholic fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts in a single 500-liter French oak barrel. Subsequently, the wine is aged for 6 months on its lees in the same barrel and an additional 12 months in a stainless steel tank.
