Pago de los Capellanes, O Luar do Sil Godello sobre lías, D.O. Valdeorras, white wine, 0.75l

The wine O Luar do Sil Godello Sobre Lías 2022 comes from carefully selected vineyards of the Godello variety in the D.O. Valdeorras region in Spanish Galicia. This style of white wine is created with an emphasis on delicate complexity and mineral character, achieved through vinification and ageing "sobre lías" - that is, on fine yeast lees, which give the wine greater texture, depth and aromatic sophistication.

The 2022 vintage brought even ripening of the grapes under demanding conditions, which nonetheless allowed for balanced ripeness with rich aromatics and good acidity. The result is a wine that comes across as lively, mineral and elegant, with intense aromatic depth and an expression of pure fruit character.

Grape variety: 100% Godello, a traditional white variety from north-western Spain, prized for its freshness, mineral expression and ability to produce wines with a complex structure.

Vineyard: The grapes come from small, carefully tended plots with older vines in the La Mallada (Seadur) and Valella (Larouco) locations. The soils are formed by the weathering of granite, known as xabre, which lends the wine a characteristic mineral spark and depth.

Production and ageing: The grapes are hand-picked and undergo careful selection. After fermentation in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature, ageing takes place for up to six months on fine yeast lees with regular stirring (batonnage), which gives the wine volume, elegance and aromatic complexity. This process ensures greater texture and delicate nuances in both aroma and flavour.

Taste and aroma: The wine offers clean, mineral fruity notes; in the aroma you find delicate floral nuances, white fruit and mineral touches typical of the Valdeorras terroir. On the palate the wine is smooth, harmonious and delicate, with lively acidity, a pleasant length and a complex finish that combines fresh fruitiness with depth of structure.

Food pairing: Recommended serving temperature 9-12°C. It pairs wonderfully with fish, seafood, light meats, salads and dishes with a lightly spiced sauce, where its freshness and mineral character shine through.

Awards: O Luar do Sil Godello Sobre Lías 2022 enjoys high praise from experts including 93 points from Tim Atkin, confirming its high quality and pronounced terroir character.
