Louro is only the second wine of this estate but it illustrates the huge potential of Godello: it is a showcase for minerality and balance. Rafael says that he vinifies the Spanish Grüner Veltliner.

La Vizcaína is a project by Raúl Pérez in which the wines are classified according to their origin, terroir, orientation to the sun, etc...
