Raul Perez Ultreia Godello 2019

Country: Spain

Region: Bierzo

Type: White Wine

Grape: Godello

The Godello is from three organically-farmed sites in the village of Valtuille de Abajo, though 90% of the fruit in this vintage actually comes from one north-facing site. The ultimate focus here is on preserving acidity, as Godello can get a little sloppy if overripened. Fruit for this wine is picked on the knife edge of ripeness, and as such the resulting wine only reaches about 11.8% alcohol. The wine ferments and ages in a combination of foudres and old 300-liter barrels.

Citrus aromas lead into a rich body with notes of tropical fruits, enlivened by brisk acidity. Fresh, long finish.
