Tormenta is the successor to the cult white wine “CAL”.
The name refers to a horse that was rejected by its mother and raised by the Ortega family. The wine comes from a tiny vineyard of just 0.8 hectares, planted with pure Godello. What makes it special is the terroir, which consists mainly of limestone – extremely rare in Bierzo. This is one of our most elegant and refined Godellos. Top level.
Vinification
Hand-picked. Organic viticulture with very low yields. Vinification in inox cuves followed by fermentation and élevage in both 800-litre amphora and French oak barrique en foudre of 225, 500 and 600 litres. Bottling after 13 months.

Trial analysis
Lovely bright colour. In the nose, a symphony of lime blossom, green tea and citrus notes. Without doubt our most vertical Godello with brilliantly refined acidity. Lots of length and character. Without doubt brilliant in ageing.
