A stunning single-vineyard Godello from one of Galicia's pioneering white wine producers. Aromas full of grapefruit, red apple, boxwood, wild flowers and an attractive mineral note. The palate is tight and youthful with a lovely richness on the palate. Fresh acidity gives the wine vibrancy and a persistent finish. This has a very long life ahead of it.

"The 2023 As Sortes reminded me of the 2021 vintage. It's perfumed, elegant and harmonious, with ripeness, elegance and freshness, with 14% alcohol and superb acidity that make it balanced and lifted up. It comes from six small vineyards ("sorte" locally) planted at the end of the 1970s and 1980s on the north face of the Bibei Valley at 680 meters above sea level on sandy granite soils that give the wine finesse and elegance. It fermented in 500-liter French oak barrels with indigenous yeasts and matured in those barrels with the fine lees for eight months. There's a sense of purity and precision that I like very much, while the texture has very fine granularity. It's very tasty and clean. 23,500 bottles produced. It was bottled in June 2024." 96pts Luis Gutiérrez The Wine Advocate
