Winemaker Notes
The vineyards grow in these rich sloped grounds, with slate substrata and watered by the Sil. A Mediterranean-continental microclimate with Atlantic influence, thermal oscillation between 8ºC and 25ºC, Valdeorras is an area less humid than Galicia.The queen of her grapevines, is the native GODELLO.
There are hundreds of white grape varieties grown throughout the world. Some are indigenous specialties capable of producing excellent single varietal wines. Each has its own distinct viticultural characteristics, as well as aroma and flavor profiles.
Just to the south of Bierzo, the steeply terraced Valdeorras Spanish wine region is a respected source of both red and white wines. Garnacha Tintorera (Alicante Bouschet) and Mencía are the principal red varieties while Godello and Palomino compose the majority of this region's whites.
