Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The nose of the 2022 Sorte Antiga has turned more balsamic and medicinal since last year. Like the rest of the 2022s, the wine is fresher than expected (pH of 3.18 and 7.1 grams of acidity), keeping a moderate 13.8% alcohol. It has the vibrant texture of the granite soils and finishes long and dry. The skin contact is not an important player in this bottling. It was bottled in July 2023.

Winemaking
Traditional fermented and aged in open oak foudres with the skins. Aged for 12 months in used French oak barrels.
Description
Sorte Antiga is a white wine made from centenary Godello vines, located in the heart of the Bibei Valley, Santa Cruz do Bolo. These vines were planted in 1920 on ungrafted vines with goblet training. The vineyard, facing north and at an altitude of 680 metres, is located on granite soil with an absence of mica, which delays its decomposition and maintains its freshness during the dry season thanks to the dry straw cover.
Winemaking
This wine is made following a traditional method with fermentation for one month in open oak vats and ageing for 12 months in used barrels, maintaining biodynamic viticulture to restore the natural balance of the soil.
Taste
Sorte Antiga has a great texture in the mouth, with a slight reminiscence of fermentation on the skins, although without losing its fruity character. On the nose, the aromas typical of the Godello variety stand out, offering a fruity, tasty and concentrated experience with an exciting acidity. The finish is saline, mineral and long, maintaining the elegance and freshness characteristic of this winery's wines. This wine is recommended to be served between 7 and 10 ºC to fully appreciate its nuances.
In short, Sorte Antiga is a wine that combines tradition with modern elegance, offering a unique and refined experience that highlights the purest characteristics of Godello.
