Description
The 2021 Godello As Sortes is sourced from micro-plots in the O Bolo area, Valdeorras, and aged for eight months in barrel on lees. Green with a golden sheen falls into the oxidative Godello category. Appencentrated and refreshing, heightened acidity unleashes energy on the palate, providing a precise, long-lasting, vibrant mouthfeel and a vivid experience.

Critics reviews
Jancis Robinson MW 16.5/20
Firm Godello structure, and good acidity, but even a second bottle failed to thrill me the way earlier vintages have. It's long and perhaps just too young.
