1990-1991

Traditional dry farmed viticulture. Organic Gobelet trained vines. Cultivated completely by hand.

Primarily slate soils intermixed with small quantities quartz. Sandy granitic soils resulting of the decomposition of the mother rock.

Mediterranean climate with an Atlantic influence. Very cold winters and very warm hot summers.

The grapes are hand-harvested and stored in small baskets. Bunches are chilled for 24 hours in a cool chamber to prevent oxidation and minimize SO2 required at the press. The wine is fermented with indigenous yeast in French oak puncheons and demi-muids (500-600 L barrels, respectively.)

6 months sur lie in French oak puncheons and demi-muids (500-600L barrels, respectively) with battonage.

Sourced from one of the oldest, most traditional vineyards planted in Valdeorras, Avancia Godello expresses the authenticity the history of Valdeorras and the oldest genetic material of Godello in the world. A completely unique white wine that ages beautifully and has been recognized by Robert Parker as Spain's best Godello.
