Availability: In stock
Produced by the O Luar do Sil winery,a brand of the well-known bodega Pago de los Capellanes, O Luar do Sil Godello Sobre lías is a varietal Spanish white wine from the DO Valdeorras.
It was produced solely from the best Godello grapes coming from vineyards planted in slate and granite soils on the banks of the Sil river.
Harvested in the second week of September, the grapes were first destemmed, and then cold-macerated at a temperature of 8ºC to preserve their aromatic compounds. Then they were fermented with selected yeasts in stainless steel tanks for a period of 14 days under a strict temperature control. Finally, O Luar do Sil Godello Sobre lías 2017 was aged on its lees for 6 months before being bottled.
This is a truly terroir-oriented, subtle white wine aged on lees.
