Cova de la Raposa ('cave of the fox') is a vineyard located in the village of Abajo de Valtuille. Southern exposure on sandy soil. Not an easy plot and therefore this wine is not made every year. When it does succeed, the wine is truly great.

Alicante Bouchet, Bastardo (Merenzao), Mencia
El Bierzo was one of the first Spanish denominaciones to get a completely new set of specifications, introducing (from 2017 onwards) the vino de villa for wines made with grapes originating from one village. A list of villages has been issued. Some producers already use these names, including our suppliers. A good example of "vino de villa" is Valtuille.
Castro Ventosa's top white wine. "El Val" is the name of the vineyard, located just opposite the renowned "Villegas" vineyard. West orientation so ripeness is up to almost 1 month later than the Villegas vineyard. El Val therefore gives voluminous wines with plenty of fraîche and character. Is without doubt the most Burgundian of our white Godello wines.
