"One of two whites produced here, the 2018 El Castro de Valtuille
Godello is made with grapes from four plots—three in Valtuille and one in
Villafranca—on clay, sand and quartzite soils.
Godello is always destemmed, and this fermented and matured in 225-,
500- and 700-liter oak barrels, where it stays until one week before the
next harvest without stirring the lees or anything.
In principle, the whites do not undergo malolactic.
It's very balsamic and expressive, with aromas of pollen and beeswax,
a touch of camphor and dry yellow flowers (think chamomile) with some
spicy undertones.
The oak is used, and the idea is that it's quite neutral. It's a lively white
with fresh and focused flavors, good volume and a tasty finish.
4,900 bottles were filled in November 2019."
– Luis Gutiérrez für Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
