The Vineyard

The grapes come from vineyards located on granite and clay soils characteristic of Ribeira Sacra.

The combination of altitude, steep slopes, and an Atlantic climate provides freshness, tension, and a marked mineral expression.

Winemaking

Fermentation and subsequent aging take place in barrels, seeking to add complexity and texture without losing the varietal purity or the natural freshness of the Godello.

Production is extremely limited, reinforcing the exclusive character of this reference.

Tasting Notes

Bright yellow color with golden reflections.

The nose reveals aromas of ripe fruit and white flowers, accompanied by citrus notes, quince, mango, and delicate mineral nuances.

On the palate, it is fresh and balanced, with good structure, enveloping texture, and a long, precise finish.

Pairing

Ideal with seafood, wild fish, Atlantic cuisine, and delicate white fish preparations.

A refined and profoundly Atlantic Godello that unites the sensibility of Raúl Pérez and Rodrigo Méndez in one of the most exclusive and personal interpretations of Ribeira Sacra.
