Godello 2021 0,75L

Motivos para el estudio:

• El valle del Duero también es capaz de producir grandes blancos y así lo hemos comprobado con nuestro blanco de guarda Abadía Retuerta LeDomaine. Hay otras variedades que están mostrando muy buenas aptitudes para elaborar un blanco diferente, como es el caso de la variedad Godello, conocida por producir grandes vinos blancos en el noroeste de España.

Primeras conclusiones:

• Sorprende su tipicidad particular en nuestro terruño, con un perfil aromático diferente y distintivo en la zona, más mineral y fresco e intenso con cierta austeridad.

Aspectos relevantes:

• Gran potencial de envejecimiento.
• Un Godello del Duero.

A spectacular and complex nose, with aromas of grapefruit and roast apple that mingle with notes of brioche and toasted bread. It also has a very mineral component, almost like gasoline.It is highly expressive on the palate, with a crystal-like acidity. This is a broad and persistent wine, with a long finish and great potential.

The 2021 vintage was initially marked by a lack of water in the ground. However, we managed to rectify with precision, plot by plot and row by row, during the green pruning process. The vineyard efficiently took advantage of the rare June rainfall. Furthermore, the average temperatures recorded in the summer were lower than previous years, and there were no extreme heatwaves. So, given these circumstances, the cycle was completed slowly, without any undue stress upon the vineyard. The first fortnight of September was hot, which was good for the grape ripening. The wines of this vintage are characterised by their good balance and aromatic complexity.
