Description
From the heart of Valdeorras, in the village of Portela, Pezas da Portela is born, a tribute to the most authentic origin of Godello. Eleven small plots -the "pezas"- planted during the first half of the 20th century by the sons of D. José Ramón Gayoso, keep in their old vines the memory of an austere land, marked by slate and mountain climate. On these slopes, the Pedrouzos grape selection became a living legacy. The winery made a radical decision: to vinify each grape separately, respecting the unique character of each soil, altitude and orientation. A village wine in its purest form, born of precise, honest, unadorned viticulture.
Winemaking
Pezas da Portela is made from 100%Godello, grown on slate slopes, with variable orientation and altitude that give each Pezas its own identity. The grapes are harvested by hand, in small boxes, and each plot is vinified separately. Spontaneous fermentation takes place in old French oak barrels with indigenous yeasts. Then, the wine rests on its lees for six months in the same barrels, gaining texture and complexity without losing freshness. Afterwards, it is transferred to stainless steel tanks, where it remains for another twelve months, refining its structure, preserving varietal purity and minerality.
Taste
Pezas da Portela displays an elegant and precise nose: white fruit (pear, apple), fresh citrus, white flowers, fennel notes and a marked mineral background of wet slate. When oxygenated, subtle nuances of toast and almonds emerge. On the palate it is enveloping and creamy, with a vibrant acidity that runs through it like a thread of tension. Saline, structured, long, with a depth that invites further exploration. The finish leaves a trace of acidic fruit, dry stone and understated elegance. Pezas da Portela is a serious, refined Godello, with a soul for ageing, destined to evolve nobly in the bottle over the next 10 to 15 years.
