2021 Valdesil Valteiro María Ardoña

One of the stars of the Valdeorras / Galicia is the winery Val De Sil, which focuses strongly on the Galician grape Godello and the red Mencia. The bodega has its vineyards in the Sil valley with its unique slate soils which 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 native Galician grape varieties and planted this small plot of only 0.3HA in 1985 with the Gallic grape María Ardoña in 1985 convinced of the potential of this grape and has now turned it into a world-class wine . Unique to this grape in combination with the terroir is that it is a 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 18 months in a stainless steel tank and then also receives a further 6 months of bottle aging before the wine hits the market. The wine has beautiful notes of wild berries, violets and a hint of minerals . The wine has good storage potential thanks to its fine tannins. The Valteiro is fresh, complex and original. If you are looking for a beautiful wine with an excellent price / quality and not your average wine, we can heartily recommend the Valteiro. This should not be missing in a beautiful wine collection.
