Description
Since its origins, Guímaro has been synonymous with respect for the wild landscape of the Ribeira Sacra, where the vines cling to impossible slopes, on stone terraces over slate and schist soils. Guímaro Godello Cepas Viejas was born from the desire to rescue the memory of old Godello vines -some more than 40 years old-, located in small plots where ripening is slow and demanding. The decision was clear: little intervention, low yields and maximum expression of the terroir. In a difficult year, the decision was made to harvest in successive passes, an unusual but key decision to capture every nuance of the vineyard. The result is a wine that does not seek immediate impact, but rather depth, texture and a sharp minerality that speaks of the earth rather than the fruit.
Winemaking
The harvest of Guímaro Godello Cepas Viejas is carried out manually, in small boxes, selecting only the best balanced bunches. Once in the winery, the grapes are pressed directly without destemming. Fermentation is spontaneous, using exclusively indigenous yeasts, and is carried out in used 500-litre French oak barrels. The wine is aged there for 7 months on its lees, without bâtonnage, in order to preserve its natural tension. The wine is neither clarified nor filtered before bottling, thus preserving its pure, mineral and Atlantic character to the maximum.
Taste
The nose of Guímaro Godello Cepas Viejas is precise, mineral, with notes of green apple, water pear, lemon zest and hints of white flower and fennel. In the background, a clear salinity, like wet stone or Atlantic breeze. On the palate, it is vibrant, tense, with a lively acidity that balances the creamy texture gained on the lees. Very dry, long, with a finish reminiscent of grapefruit, raw almond and hot stone. It is a serious Godello, for those who enjoy wines with edge and character. Ideal with oily fish, grilled octopus or cured cheeses with natural salinity.
