Product info
The surprise of this estate famous for its reds: a white wine made with the Godello harvested on a small half-hectare parcel in Bibei.
On the other side of the river lie the vines of Rafa Palacios.
Vinification
The grapes are fermented and aged in large wooden vats, or foudres.
Storage potential
Still very young but with a good potential, at least till 2023.
To serve
In a large Burgundy glass.
Trial analysis
Light colour. A little oaky on the nose at the begining (the vats were still new at the time, in 2018), but the wine also shows a lot of minerality, and "verticality" too, as the name suggests.
A wine with a good ageing potential.

Wine estate

Castro Candaz is the small, common project of Raul Perez, Spain top oenologist, and Rodri Mendez (Forjas del Salnés, in Rias Baixas).
They want to produce lighter wines (not more than 13° of alcohol) by harvesting sooner. Cuvées for those who like elegant Burgundy-style wines.

Description

Castro Ventosa's top white wine. "El Val" is the name of the vineyard, located just opposite the renowned "Villegas" vineyard. West orientation so ripeness is up to almost 1 month later than the Villegas vineyard. El Val therefore gives voluminous wines with plenty of fraîche and character. Is without doubt the most Burgundian of our white Godello wines.

Description

Sorta Antiga comes from the oldest and the most spectacular of Rafa's vineyards- he names it "the Montrachet of Valdeorras". The parcel is only 0,24 ha. Only bush vines, planted in 1920. The soil is covered with straw, to avoid erosion of the powdery granit. Thos Godello is something apart in Rafa's range. Darker, due to the skin-contact maceration - a tannic white, the orange wine by Rafael Palacios.
