Reasons for study:
• The Duero Valley can also produce fantastic white wines, as demonstrated by our own Blanco de Guarda Abadía Retuerta LeDomaine, which is perfect for cellaring. Other varieties are also proving to be highly effective when making a different white wine, as is the case of the Godello grape, known for being used in white wines in the north-west of Spain.
Initial conclusions:
• This wine has a surprising typicity, specific to our terroir. It has a different aromatic profile, unusual in the region,as it is fresher, with more mineral notes. It is also more intense, with a certain straightforwardness.
Key aspects:
• Great potential for ageing.
• A Godello wine, from the Duero region.
A wine of elegant, complex aromas, such as juicy fruits with a touch of citric and a hint of patisserie. On the palate it is unctious and refreshing, with mineral notes and a long and complex finish that showcases the quality of our terroir.
This was the hottest and driest vintage ever, with intense spells of heat from as early as May. The team’s previous experience of years with similar climate characteristics was pivotal when it came to managing the vineyards and making decisions. It is worth highlighting the implementation of sustainable watering practices during the winter, this way water accumulates in the subsoil, ready to be used later on by the sprouting vines over the course of the growing cycle.
