Spanish White
Greenish yellow with golden reflections, showing white fruit, apple, pear, floral and botanical notes over a mineral background. The palate is balanced, broad and unctuous, with a glyceric, persistent finish and a herbal aftertaste. Godello is hand harvested in eighteen-kilogram boxes in San Cibrao. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel at eighteen degrees, followed by four to six months on lees and maturation in tank. The sandy, granite-origin soils contain schist.

This young white comes from Bierzo in northwestern Spain.

Light yellow in colour, the wine offers pear and liquorice with floral, white-fruit and mineral notes. The palate has richness and a light oily texture without heaviness, supported by crisp acidity and slate-like minerality through the finish. Godello provides the full composition. Maturation lasts five months on fine lees, with seventy percent in stainless steel and thirty percent in used five-hundred-litre French oak barrels.
