This is a serious and 'grown-up' glass of wine - showing Godello, and Valdeorras, as a serious source of high quality white wine.
Production
The Godello vines are over 45 years old. Grapes are hand-harvested, destemmed, and undergo short maceration (approximately 4 hours) with skins. Then follows a careful and slow pressing and temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel.
Quinta do Sil Godello Valdeorras 2022 (6 bottles case)
Tasting notes
Richly textured and intense white with citrus and stone fruit aromas, fennel and white pepper notes. Bright balancing acidity and with a tight structure. Should mature well in bottle.
Food match
Vibrant acidity and pronounced intensity of flavour make this versatile, but it's great with baked brill with nutty butter and caper sauce.

Meet the producer
Bodegas Granbazan was established in the heart of the Val do Salnés, Rías Baixas, in 1981. The winery and Bordeaux-style manor house is at the centre of the 13.5 hectare Finca Tremoedo vineyard. Their focus is purely on the Albariño grape and to that end the vineyard was planted in 1980 with a range of Albariño clones from across Galicia. Finca Tremoedo consists of 10 different plots, each with its own microclimate, and each tended and harvested separately.
