2020 Valdesil Asadoira Monopolio Sobre Lias

Valdesil pays homage to the River Sil, the backbone of Galicia, which forms a narrow valley as it flows through Valdeorras. A pioneering and revolutionary wine in Spain, the first white wine to be aged on its lees in steel tanks. It is made exclusively with grapes from vineyards owned by the Prada-Gayoso family, located on schist rock, located in the parishes of Portela (San Xulián) and Córgomo (Santa Marta), in the municipality of Vilamartín de Valdeorras. The vineyards are managed according to the circadian rhythm of the plants and a vegetative cover is maintained throughout the year, guaranteeing a living soil without erosion. The wine shows the characteristics of the slate soils with its delicate citrus and mineral notes, very elegant,

The Valdesil Godello Asadoira Sobre Lias is a 100% Godello of a single vineyard of less than 3.93HA located on schist soil in the place of the same name on the slopes of the Sil valley in Valdeorras. The wine is only made in top years and the 2020 is the 3rd edition of this wine and is the successor to the 2018. Only 900 bottles are made. The Asadoira has been allowed to ripen for no less than 1 year at a very low temperature on its own dregs (sur lie or sobre lias) in concrete tanks and then after a year in stainless steel.

This is elegance with a capital E. Refined like all wines from Valdesil with the long aging without the influence of wood on its own yeasts provides notes of yeast, white flowers, dried flowers, slightly smoky. The taste is firm, balanced and harmonious, medium-bodied with good freshness and a dry aftertaste, with the characteristic bitter touch of the Godello clearly emerging. This is the third vintage (after 2016 and 2018) and a great addition to the Valdesil portfolio. A wine that becomes even more beautiful with age.
