Louro 2023Rafael Palacios - 75 cl.

This fantastic Pedro Ximénez is the entry level wine of Fátima Ceballos' great range of whites. Fátima Ceballos is the most famous and the most innovative oenologist in this region.

La Vizcaína is a project by Raúl Pérez in which the wines are classified according to their origin, terroir, orientation to the sun, etc... La Vizcaína is the nickname given by the locals to Raúl's father, who was also an oenologist, but who died young. Raúl is assisted in this venture by his nephew César Márquez.

A single-parcel wine, from a vine located at 500m above sea-level, near Valtuille. Only 1,500 bottles are produced each year.

This cuvée is only produced in the best vintages. It is not aged in barrels but in stainless steel tanks, on its lees, at low temperatures. This unique wine is only released after 6 years.

The Kokerboom vineyard consists of around 80% white Green Grape and 20% red Green Grape. They pick them together and press them simultaneously. The wine is one of the richest wines produced with pure volume and massive texture. The Semillon ripens very well in this area due to the high solar radiation and the grapes enter the cellar between 13.5 – 14% alcohol.

With this wine, José Luis Mateo has accomplished a tour de force and a première, recuperating the Verdello Antiguo, an old clone of Godelllo from the Monterrei heights. This wine has more tension than your usual Godello.

Sorte O Soro is Rafael Palacios' first Grand Cru in the Bibei valley in Valdeorras. This is definitely one of Spain's absolute top wines and the nec plus ultra of the Godello. Sourced from one of his best parcels "O Soro", The result in the glass is a tighter Godello in its youth with plenty of fraîche, complexity and structure. Everything the greatest white wine should have in the house is found in this bottle.
