Capricho Val de Paxarinas Godello

Complex Godello from a region well-suited to this variety, Bierzo in north-west Spain.

The Godello grapes are sourced from a 30 year old vineyard plot with a southerly exposure in Canedo. The additional Doña Blanca grapes were from a vineyard over 65 years of age in Quilós. Typical yields of both are around 1-2kg/vine. After harvesting the grapes in 15kg crates, they undergo 12 hours of cold maceration then temperature-controlled fermentation (at 14ºC) in stainless steel. Fermentation is stopped by chilling, leaving around 4g/l of residual sugar. The wine ages on lees in stainless steel for 3 months, then is kept at 2ºC and bottled regularly throughout year to retain freshness.

Tasting notes

Perfumed, rich aromatics with a full, textural and complex palate balanced by steely stone fruit minerality, lifted herbal notes and crisp acidity with a long flavoursome finish.
