Bodegas Ronsel do Sil – Vel’uveyra Godello 2021 (750ml)

Description

The Ronsel do Sil Vel’uveyra Godello comes from some of the estate’s higher elevation steep vineyard sites that range from 25 to 50 years old. The grapes always are hand-harvested, and are a blend of 3 native varieties of Galicia: 85% Godello, 10% Treixadura, and 5% Dona Branca. Once brought to the cellar, the grapes are gently pressed and naturally ferment in both 300 and 600 liter French oak barrels, where they then rest (with no battonage) for 6 months before bottling.The aromatics are deep with not only fruity and citrus notes, but also lifted floral tones and hints of wild herbs. The wine is very full and creamy in the mouth, yet fresh and alive with white stone fruit, incredible acidity and with a long finish of nuts, crushed rock, and citrus fruits.
