César Márquez La Salvación Godello 2022
HK$ 313.98
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2022 La Salvación is quite tight, serious and a little closed. It's riper and rounder than the 2021, with 13.5% alcohol but keeping the freshness and acidity, with pH of 3.09 and 7.35 grams of acidity. It's juicy and tender, with a chalky sensation in the finish. This is round and very approachable. 7,936 bottles were filled in August 2023, after the wine spent 12 months in 500-liter French oak barrels.

Description
César Márquez has done a great job in recovering old abandoned vineyards, forgotten autochthonous vines, as well as traditional agricultural techniques that respect the environment.
Despite the effort that this entails, the positive results are quite remarkable, and this can be seen in wines such as La Salvación Godello, which has obtained the recognition of important critics due to its particular flavour and the taste that it leaves in the mouth.
Winemaking
The César Márquez La Salvación Godello wine is made with grapes from Godello and Mencía vineyards over a hundred years old, which have been cultivated on clay and sandy soils located at an altitude of over 500 metres.
The grapes are harvested by hand to ensure the quality of the grapes, and the best ones are selected. The grapes are then destemmed and pressed, leaving the liquid to decant for 24 hours.
Spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts takes place in French oak barrels without temperature control. Afterwards, it is aged for a year in used French oak barrels, and finally the wines from the two vineyard plots are bottled, without filtering or stabilisation.
Taste
La Salvación Godello organic wine is an aged white wine with a certain touch of oxidation. It is creamy and balanced with a saline finish and has aromas of white fruits with herbal notes, as well as toasted touches.
It is a fresh wine, with well-integrated wood, elegant and seductive. It has a straw yellow colour, and certain notes of ageing. On the other hand, it has an acidic aroma and ripe citrus fruits. It is a long and deep wine.
A saviour wine
As its name indicates, with this wine, winemaker César Márquez tries to save old vineyards that were abandoned.
This natural and creamy white wine is ideal for pairing with white fish and seafood, as well as rice dishes. It is recommended to be served very chilled, at around 9°C.
