Description
In a nutshell:
A subtly tropical and fresh, premium Spanish white from the north western region of Valdeorras in Galicia.
The lowdown:
It's only a few decades since Godello nearly disappeared as a white grape variety but, in part, thanks to the efforts of Rafael Palacios its reputation is very much on the rise. And the Valdeorras region in remote, north west Spain is where it's really at home. This cuvée, 'As Sortes', is Rafael's top wine and is after pressing is fermented in 500 litres French oak barrels and remains ageing on its lees for a further eight months before bottling. It has subtle tropical fruit on the nose whilst the palate has richer passionfruit and guava showing through. However it's all the time still wonderfully fresh with a citrus edge giving good balance. The characteristic hint of salinity and minerality is also there to add further interest.
When to drink:
A super wine with a touch of a serious Burgundy about it. It'll be great drinking until the end of 2020s and with food matches well with rivh poultry and feathered game.
Suitable for Vegans, Organic
