2024 Casa Rojo The Orange Republic

Godello is a grape variety that's rapidly gaining popularity, which doesn't surprise us, as we've been big fans of Godello wines for years. Beautiful fruit with lovely, crisp acidity, and a very lively and elegant characterize fine Godello grapes. Often less dusty than many Chardonnays.
Godello grapes are perfectly adapted to dry soils with excellent drainage, which contributes to optimal yield and ripening. Harvesting is done by hand. The soil type varies from gray slate, through granite-rich soils richer in sand, to gravelly soils suitable for terrace planting. The altitude ranges from 300 to 700 meters. The grapes are sourced from the municipalities of A Rúa, Larouco, O Bolo, and Vilamartín. After fermentation, they are aged on the lees for four months. Only the heart of the must is used in the fermentation process to extract the maximum amount of aromas and nuances from the grape.
The Casa Rojo The Orange Republic Godello has a bright, straw-yellow color with hints of olive. The nose is elegant and intense, with aromas of various types such as green apple, apricot, and quince. We also find delicious balsamic aromas of mint, spearmint, and eucalyptus, which provide freshness. On the palate, it has great persistence, freshness, and a long finish. A wonderfully elegant white wine with a perfect balance between fruit, acidity, and (controlled) alcohol.

ABOUT CASA ROJO

"THE MOST IMPORTANT VIRTUE OF A WINE IS BALANCE" LAURA MUÑOZ-ROJO - At Casa Rojo, they make wines that José Luis and Laura identify with. They are fortunate and privileged to be able to produce in the regions where they have their roots and admire the two grapes they are passionate about: Tinta Fina (Tempranillo) in the continental climate of La Ribera del Duero and Monastrell in their Mediterranean homeland, Tierra de Murcia. Recently, they have also added unique white grapes from Ribera del Galicia, such as Verdejo, Albariño, and Sauvignon Blanc. Casa Rojo's vision is clear: "A wine should be a maximum expression of the soil, the grapes, and the local climate."

Casa Rojo has been operating since 2010, making it a relatively young company. However, its wines are now available in over 40 countries, including the USA, Singapore, Italy, France, the Netherlands, Mexico, Japan, Hong Kong, Australia, Sweden, Switzerland, and more, and demand exceeds supply. This isn't surprising, as the quality of the wines, the stories behind them, and the presentation are truly unique.
