2023 Valtuille El Val

The entry-level white 2023 El Castro de Valtuille Godello comes from four plots in the village of Valtuille on clay soils with different percentages of sand, rocks and quartzite. It fermented and matured in larger and smaller barrels for almost one year. All the 2023 whites are more reductive, with hints of gunpowder and flint. This is the one that is more approachable. It comes from a less ripe vintage with more acidity and with rain during the harvest. It has more minerality in the style of 2021, with contained ripeness, 13.19% alcohol, a low pH of 3.06 and 7.1 grams of acidity. It's vibrant and has a salty finish. 8,000 bottles were filled in December 2024.
