Product info
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.
Vinification
Vinification à l'ancienne; whole bunch fermentation in old vats where the wine is then aged for 12 months.
Total production is only 960 bottles.
Storage potential
Drink as from : 2025
Best moment : 2027-2029
Until : 2032
To serve
Be sure to decant this wine. Then serve it not too cold in a large glass.
Trial analysis
Dark color, slightly orange.
This wine may not have the exuberant nose of the Godello, but is has a good body, a good acidity and a tannic structure with subtle oak notes. Long and mineral finish expressing the superb terroir it's coming from.

Reviews
R. Parker (96/100)

The nose of the 2022 Sorte Antiga has turned more balsamic and medicinal since last year. Like the rest of the 2022s, the wine is fresher than expected (pH of 3.18 and 7.1 grams of acidity), keeping a moderate 13.8% alcohol. It has the vibrant texture of the granite soils and finishes long and dry. The skin contact is not an important player in this bottling.

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.
