We got a verwendet weinkeller of a young girl (2006) with anti-crisis price and excellent CPR Mocayo Payments 2010. A wine produced by the winery of the same name, belonging to the family Aibar, which is situated at the foot of the Sierra del Moncayo. This winery Aragon has 7 acres of Grenache and Shiraz and whose altitude ranges from 400 to 800 meters, while under protection of the DO Campos de Borja. This geographical area has severe weather, very cold in winter and hot in summer with little rain and the continuing influence of a strong, dry wind, known as Boreas. To which must be added poor soils, gravel and clay rather well with white limestone and slate, but where you get high quality wines. The wine we bring is the core of the cellar, made from Grenache (65%) and Shiraz (35%). They also perform as a single varietal Grenache both in Shiraz. Payments for this Moncayo 2010 are the grapes from the vineyards corner of Crown and barren, and collected manually. They use centuries old techniques of small wineries open and stepped up to facilitate the mass of harvest. In these wineries open the grapes are macerated for four days and then perform the alcoholic fermentation. When this is done the process starts stomping grapes to get the complete rupture of the grapes and remove the tannins and sugars that have the grapes. Once this stage the wines are fermented pomace separated by a hand press. Hence are introduced into maturing tanks and finishing is performed for the malolactic naturally, for further ripening. Nose: Entrance with good drive. There are notes of red fruit (currants, raspberries, strawberries) and ripe black fruit (plum), spices (black pepper, cinnamon), blue flowers and fine mineral notes. Palate: nice pitch, unctuous, with a presence but still be sweet, with good acidity and edgeless for its 14 percent alcohol. The main themes are the ripe fruit and spices. Final average run, very friendly. The Godello is "the other" white grape of Galicia. Produces wines with subtle his famous compatriot explosive and Albariño, with less acidity and a squeaky little less aromatic intensity, but the undeniable elegance and exquisite taste that make some people go from the very famous, but little known fact, the quieter Albariño Godello. Valdesil is a family winery in the DO Valdeorras, whose history dates back to 1855, when an ancestor of the family plant the first peza (piece plot) of Godello in the hills of the valley of the Sil. Since then, the various plots suffer some changes of ownership, until 2001, the family began to buy and restore the vineyards and can now boast of possessing the oldest vineyards in Galicia Godello the Pedrouzos farm. The entire vineyard, then, consists of small plots, mostly concentrated in Córgomo and Portela. Viticulture conducted by the winery includes maintaining the soil cover, the greater density of vines per Ha, adjust the rootstock to soil type, and avoid the vineyards at altitudes above 550 meters. Vintage careful with pre-farm and transport refrigeration and wine by plot, with use of stainless steel and oak. I tried this wine, and advancement since enjoyed two wines. Things about the view from the corner of the eye a lot space gourmet gift shop of the triangular logo. The first is Valdesil 2010 (OJ Valdeorras, aging on lees white 100% Godello, Bodegas Valdesil). Grapes from vineyards with an average age of 30 years, located on small farms in slate slopes about 500 m. Add complicated, spring frosts, drought and outbreaks of mildew important later, with 30% fewer grapes than usual. Handpicked selection table, short maceration, fermentation with indigenous yeasts and aging of 4 months on lees in stainless steel tanks. Clarification, cold stabilization and light filtering, to bottling the wine in May 2011. The result of this process the wine is bright straw yellow, green and steely reflections, very nice. It gives us aromas of medium intensity, with pineapple, apple peel and jasmine. The palate is fresh, fruity, slightly fatty, perceiving the tip of the tongue at least carbon and leaving a bitter and saline end very nice. A wine highly hazardous by how difficult it is to stop drinking. If you liked the first wine, the latter caused exclamations of admiration from the first sip. With grapes from vines 50 years located in eleven small farms in the village of Portela, about 500 meters high, is made one of the best I have ever tasted godellos. Handpicked selection table, short maceration and fermentation with indigenous yeasts, in barrels of 500 and 350 liter and 2000 liter vats. Subsequently, aging in oak barrels for 6 months and deposit another 6 months. Clarification, cold stabilization and filtering light, moving to bottle in February 2011. Pezas Portela 2009 (OJ Valdeorras, white 100% Godello parenting, Bodegas Valdesil) shows an intense straw yellow color with golden pewter and clear. A drink stop, the first thing we notice are scents of tropical fruit and citrus, appearing after shaking ripe apple and creamy notes that by leaving the wine evolve in the glass, give way to slight herbal and aniseed memories. The palate is absolutely delicious, fruity, somewhat bitter, with good acidity, slightly creamy and good persistence. 14 º of alcohol that are not noticeable on the palate, but in the head, after realizing that there are only a culÃn in the bottle. Vinazo impressed us with capital letters. As a curiosity, which has included Jancis Robinson Valdesil 2010 in a list of his 25 favorite white wines, published in the Financial Times. And I say that these are two of the best varieties of Godello I've tried. Take this opportunity to mention in passing some canned that have accompanied these wines. The range of Canned Gourmet Cambados, of which we have enjoyed the cockles, mussels and clams marinated, are simply stunning. Not cheap, but certainly deserve to be tested, and accompanied by vinazos like these.
