2015 Valdesil Valteiro

One of the upcoming stars from the Valdeorras / Galicia is the winery Val De Sil which focuses strongly on the Galician grape de Godello and the red Mencia. The bodega has its vineyards in the Sil valley with its unique egg-stone soils that make the wines of this house unique.

The Valdesil Valteiro is perhaps one of the most unique wines. Valteiro is the name of a small Peza (plot) located in the village of Portela. Francisco Prada Gayoso is committed to preserving indigenous Galiic grape varieties and has planted this small plot of only 0.3HA in 1985 with the Gallic grape de María Ardoña in 1985 convinced of the potential of this grape and has since turned it into a world-class wine . Unique to this grape in combination with the terroir is that it is very elegant wine with a beautiful minerality due to the unique terroir of the Valteiro vineyard. The Valteiro has matured for 6 months in 500L French oak barriques, then for 18 months in a stainless steel tank and therefore gets another 6 months bottle aging before the wine comes on the market. The wine has beautiful notes of wild berries, violets and a hint of minerals . The wine has a good storage potential thanks to its beautiful tannins. The Valteiro is fresh, complex and original. If you are looking for a nice wine with an excellent price / quality and no average wine then we can heartily recommend the Valteiro. This should not be missing in a beautiful wine collection.
