Description
In the heart of Valdeorras, where the river Sil meanders between granite and slate slopes, the Guitián family defied convention. It was in the early nineties when they decided to recover the Godello -a native variety that was then barely surviving- with a clear vision: to demonstrate that Galicia could produce age-worthy white wines, with body, structure and complexity, at the level of the world's great whites. The Guitián Godello Fermentado en Barrica was his most daring and, at the same time, most revealing venture.
The A Tapada vineyards, planted on south-facing terraces on poor granitic soils, give the wine a mineral and tense expression. The Atlantic-continental climate of Valdeorras - with cold winters, dry summers and marked temperature fluctuations - refines the ripening of the Godello, preserving its natural acidity and ageing capacity. Only fruit from the estate is used, carefully harvested by hand and transported in small boxes to preserve the integrity of the grapes.
Winemaking
The winemaking process of Guitián Godello Fermentado en Barrica begins with a cold pre-fermentation maceration, which intensifies the primary aromas. Subsequently, it is gently pressed in a pneumatic press at low pressure. The clean must is obtained by static racking at 8 °C, preserving its purity. Alcoholic fermentationtakes place in new 225-litre barrels, evenly divided between American and French fine-grain oak. For six months, the wine remains in these barrels on its lees, with a weekly batonnage that adds volume and complexity. After filtering and bottling, Guitián Godello Fermentado en Barrica rests for a further six months in the bottle before being released onto the market.
Taste
The result is a golden wine with greenish reflections that anticipates its richness. On the nose, Guitián Godello Fermentado en Barrica displays a symphony of aromas: stone fruits such as ripe peach, pink grapefruit, hints of fennel and almond, all enveloped in delicate notes of coconut, vanilla and smoke from the wood. The palate is ample, unctuous, with an impeccable balance between freshness and structure. Its acidity, still vibrant, projects it with strength and elegance, leaving a long, persistent aftertaste, full of nuances.
