Product Description
Details

The wine Pezas da Portela is a remarkable expression of the Godello grape.

This varietal Spanish white wine is produced by Bodega Valdesil in the Galician region of Valdeorras, Godello's homeland.

The grapes are sourced from vines 50 to 70 years of age, grown in slate soils and scattered over many different plots, with different sun orientations.

Separately harvested and vinified according to its plot of origin, the grapes were destemmed and cold-soaked. Then they were gently crushed and fermented in French oak barrels of different capacities using wild yeasts.

After that, the wine Pezas da Portela 2023 was aged for a further 6 months in the barrels. This Crianza white wine was bottled unfined and unfiltered.

Aerate this white wine from Valdeorras at least 30 minutes before drinking.

Appearance

The wine Pezas da Portela is medium yellow with some golden tinges.

Nose

This varietal Godello is complex and information-rich, displaying aromas of slate, black mineral and wet earth, slowly evolving into white fruit, citrus, white flowers, camphor, aniseed, green apples and butter.

Palate

Bold and richly layered, this wine of Bodega Valdesil is full of white fruit, with remembrances of white flowers, cider, spices, citrus, balsam and a resounding minerality. Excellent acidity, great freshness and a long finish. All in all, the wine is still a bit tight, showing impressive room for growth.

Our personal opinion

The white wine Pezas da Portela 2023 is, plain and simple, one of the best Godellos available on the market.

A very serious white wine. Well-rounded and full-bodied, very expressive, refined and savoury. Great potential for growth and amazingly long finish.
