Vinification of the Sobre Lias Godello from Bodegas Valdesil

The grapes for this outstanding wine grow in the best sites of the Galicia wine-growing region, where the mild climate and mineral-rich soil offer optimal conditions for the Godello grape variety. The vineyard plots are carefully selected to emphasise the aromatic complexity of this variety. The hand harvest takes place in the early morning hours to preserve the freshness of the grapes. After the manual harvest, the grapes are carefully destemmed and gently sorted in order to preserve the noble aromas.

Vinification takes place in stainless steel tanks and guarantees the freshness as well as the purity of the fruit. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature between 12 and 15 °C, which optimally extracts the delicate citrus and fruit aromas. Maturation on the lees lends the wine additional complexity and texture. After fermentation is complete, the wine remains on the fine lees in stainless steel tanks for several months to ensure crispness, freshness and balance. Bottling is carried out in Burgundy bottles with cork closures, which protects the wine from external influences and preserves its freshness.

Maturation in stainless steel tanks increases the ageing potential to up to four years. During this time, the lively acidity that makes the wine so distinctive unfolds. The final product is a varietal Godello wine that reflects the terroir of Galicia with a vibrant, flavoursome clarity. The careful cultivation and vinificatory trailer of Bodegas Valdesil underline the quality and authenticity of this premium wine.
