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.
