Astrales Godello

The grapes come from a 10 ha vineyard near Rubiá, situated at around 500 m altitude and facing south. The poor, deep soil consists of slate and schist. Following hand-harvesting and cold maceration, the must was statically cold-settled and fermented under temperature control; spontaneous fermentation is not indicated. The wine then matured reductively in bottle for more than 50 months. It shows a golden-yellow colour, aromas of peach, grapefruit, fennel and white blossom, as well as a powerful, fresh and very long palate. With further bottle age, petrol, honey, bitter orange peel and nutty notes are expected.
