Vintage

In recent years Alejandro Luna has been purchasing old vineyards of Godello looking to produce a serious white wine to compliment his stable of reds. Produced from 60 year old vineyards, which were propagated as a clonal seleccion of best vineyard plots of Godello within Bierzo. Soils are a combination of calciferous clay and decomposed slate. The vineyard is located between 600 and 750 meters of elevation. Grapes were hand harvested prior to overnight skin contact. The pressed must sees fermentation in stainless steel tanks at low temperatures (12-15° C). Following fermentation the wine is aged for 2 months on fine lees prior to bottling.

Tech Sheet

90pts Vinous– 2017 vintage

Pale gold. Fresh pit fruit and honeydew aromas show good clarity and are sharpened by suggestions of fennel and dusty minerals. Sappy and energetic on the palate, offering juicy Meyer lemon, peach and melon flavors and a hint of succulent herbs. Finishes chewy and long, showing a hint of chalky minerality and very good persistence. (Raised on its lees for six months in stainless steel tanks.)

90pts James Suckling– 2017 vintage

A light, bright and juicy array of green melon and lighter apple fruit. Chalky and crunchy palate. Drink now.

91pts International Wine Review– 2017 vintage

Floral, white melon and fennel on the nose. There’s good volume and weight in the mouth with fennel on the palate again along with white orchard fruit. Quite glycerin in the mouth with superb mineral like extract. Quite a refined wine. Rich extract on the back of the palate and on the finish.
