<p>This is the first vintage of Tormeta, from a 0.8 hectares vineayrd (SW orientation) of Godello with a calcareous clay soil, which is clearly the differentiating element of this wine, giving it the character of calcareous soils, resulting in a Godello of a very sharp and mineral profile.</p><p>Located in San Juan de la Mata, in the north of the Bierzo region, this 25-year-old vineyard is planted at an altitude of 650m and facing S-W. It is the old Godello clone, the smallest of the variety, with little plant vigor and smaller grape berries, which gives us greater concentration and depth.</p><p>Grapes are destemmed, light skin maceration overnight and gentle racking. Spontaneous fermentation and aging for 13 months in 600, 500 and 225L barrels and 800L amphora. Bottled with ~20ppm of SO2 and about 12.5% ABV. </p><p>It is a serious, elegant and well-balanced Godello, which combines subtle notes of green tea, chamomile flower, linden flower and a background of citrus fruit, with a very fresh and vertical mouthfeel, marked minerality and precise salinity that enhances the vibrant energy of this wine on the palate.</p>
