Description
Sampayolo Godello sobre Lías.
“Sampayolo Godello sobre Lías” is made from 100% Godello grapes grown on small mountain plots — a result of the smallholding pattern that prevails in Galicia — with no herbicides or glyphosate used in the vineyard treatments.
At harvest, the bunches are picked by hand into crates of around 20 kilos, and a second selection is carried out at the winery so that only perfectly healthy bunches at optimum ripeness go on to be vinified.
Fermentation in stainless-steel tanks at a controlled temperature, with weekly pumping-over of its own lees to enhance the aromas, unctuousness and glycerol.
Clean and bright, straw yellow with greenish glints.
A fresh nose of remarkable aromatic intensity, where the fruit comes through first (water pear, apple, loquat and peach), followed by light herbaceous touches of hay and floral notes of gardenia, lily and nard.
A friendly entry on the palate: intense and mineral, with dense, persistent tears in the glass. A well-judged balance between acidity and alcohol. A strong finish with a slight bitter note that lets the palate enjoy the virtues of this single varietal for a long while.
The vines are between 10 and 35 years old and the grapes are selected by hand.
